The Following learning activity types are available:

General Practice Cases focus on a patient presentation in which, depending upon the scenario, learners make differential diagnoses, order and interpret appropriate tests and plan management of the case.

Interactive case studies take approximately 20-60 minutes to complete. These cases are supported by photographs, test results and audio/video.

These can be done by individual learners, by a supervisor and registrar working together or as an activity for a small group. General Practice cases incorporate a number of elements from the 5 Domains of General Practice.

MCQ’s (Multiple-Choice Questions)

These activities contain at least 25 MCQ’s with instant feedback; these activities include updated material from the CheckUp2 Series on CD

They consist of a presentation by a speaker with slides and audio.

Case of the Month discussions

Each month a Medical Educator provides a specific case discussion on a discussion board. Users can read colleague thoughts and management, then reply by posting messages.

These are timed activities providing questions and feedback.

These activities are text based and require users to complete activities online but also access references and /or video materials that are sent with enrolment.

Most activities recognise your answers and participation within the activity itself. For example, within a Multiple Choice Question activity, you need to answer 80% of the questions correctly to earn QD-CPD points.
