• Live, in person: This is CPD delivered in a face-to-face format (e.g., conferences, workshops, in-person courses).
• Live online learning: These activities are delivered via the Internet to live audiences (e.g., webcasts of live, in-person conferences; virtual conferences; virtual workshops; live webinars).
• Asynchronous online learning: This is also known as self-study or self-paced activities. Learners access this type of CPD independently via online platforms. Examples include online module-based learning, recorded webinars with interactive elements, online simulation activities, mobile app-based learning, and virtual reality-based learning activities.
• Regularly scheduled series: These live (online or in-person) activities are planned as series with regular schedules. They can be offered outside a clinical or hospital setting and there is no restriction on the number of participants. Regularly scheduled series may be organized by eligible CPD provider organizations (see above), including medical education companies.
