Hong Kong College of Family Physicians

Given the College Secretariat has now taken up the processing of MCHK CME record for members who use the Hong Kong Academy of Medicine (HKAM) as their Administrator for the said program, the associated administration charge will be waived. Provided that member has returned the signed consent form to the College Secretariat (Form A).

For Members starting the next MCHK Cycle from 1 January 2018:

1. Change to HKAM as your MCHK CME administrator through HKCFP, please return Form A ; OR

2. Stop using HKAM as your MCHK CME administrator for the coming cycle, please return Form B

Please return the completed form to cmecpd@hkcfp.org.hk or fax to 2866 0616 by 29 December 2017 (Friday).

The Corresponding Forms can be downloaded at:

Interested members please note the following points for your consent:

1. MCHK registrants have the responsibility to liaise with your current CME Administrator (HKMA, DU, and DH) for the necessary procedures in relation to change of the CME Administrator.

2. As by HKAM, starting from Jan 2018 change of CME Administrator can be arranged after a cycle year of program has completed.
For example:
Case 1: Cycle starts in January 2017 under non-HKAM CME administrator, Members are accepted to transfer to HKAM via HKCFP in January 2018, January 2019 or January 2020
Case 2: Cycle starts in July 2017 under non-HKAM CME administrator, Members are accepted to transfer to HKAM via HKCFP in July 2018, July 2019 or July 2020

Please provide the CME Report for the preceding cycle year(s) completed within the cycle under other administrator together with this form to HKCFP before the above captioned deadline.

3. In case of any discrepancy of the accredited CME Points between the College and the other Administrators, the College reserves the right of the final decision on the accredited CME Points.

As the College is required to report the CME Points to HKAM every 6 months,

4. MCHK CME registrants should continue to sign on the respective HKAM CME attendance record sheet for CME record purpose as usual. To help the College secretariat distinguishing College members from others, please identify yourself by entering your HKCFP membership number or simply putting “HKCFP” in the column of HKAM.

While the service is free of charge for all College members, submission may not be accredited if one fails to comply with the above-mentioned points. As usual, late submission may not proceed. Also, MCHK CME record may not be updated if one fails to update MCHK CME Administrator timely. In case of any discrepancy of the accredited CME Points, the College’s accreditation is final.
