Continuing Professional Development
Continuing Medical Education
AMS Continuing Medical Education (CME) division is responsible for
recommending to the Singapore Medical Council (SMC) the accreditation
of CME programmes for specialists. Apart from assisting SMC in the recommendation
of Core and Non-core CME points for specialist CME activities, it also recommends
the claims submitted by fellows, which would include attendances at overseas events,
contributions in medical publications and other self study activities.
LIST OF PRE-ACCREDITED CME ACTIVITIES FOR CATEGORIES 1A / 1B / 1C / 2 / 3A / 3B
The sample calendars comprised of a list of pre-accredited Core activities compiled by
specialty for the 35 registered specialties. They are compiled annually together with
the College Presidents and Chapter Chairperson, and are then submitted to the SMC for
approval. The sample calendars serve as a guide to fellows on the recommended CME
activities and journals so that they can better plan and meet their CME core requirements.

Distance Learning Programme (DLP)
DLP was developed by Academy of Medicine, Singapore in November 2005 as an alternative to
assist fellows to meet their CME requirements. Fellows can access the DLP online modules
at their own time and pace and be accredited with CME points for each module passed.
The modules are formulated based on peer-reviewed articles from refereed journals,
e.g. Annals of Academy of Medicine, Singapore or case presentations.
The format for each module is 5 MCQs and each question will have 4 optional answers
(one of which is the correct answer). 2 CME points (core or non-core) will be awarded
to each participant based on their specialty once they have passed a module.
The passing rate for each module is 60% and only 2 attempts per module are allowed.
All modules are available for two years and then archived automatically. The author
who has contributed a module will also be awarded 2 CME points.
