AAPM's Professional Development Program is the allocation of CPD points. Maintaining your CPD points is essential, particularly in ensuring you meet the requirements to maintain your status as an AAPM Certified Practice Manager and Fellow.
Maintain your CPD points
+ For educational programs delivered by external providers, CPD points are not automatically added to your membership profile. Please remember to log in to the member portal and upload any certificates you have to ensure your CPD record is kept up to date.
+ You will also need to upload documentation as proof of attendance or evidence of completion. The education provider responsible for the program will provide this for you.
+ CPD points for networking and webinar activities delivered by AAPM (i.e. not external providers) also need to be added to your membership profile on satisfactory completion, provided you are logged in to the website when you register for the activity.
+ Please note AAPM National Conference and Educare events are not automatically recorded.

AAPM members are eligible for up to 20 CPD points per accreditation cycle following the achievement of AGPAL accreditation.

Course description
Using the lastest version of Bp Premier, this course is fast-paced and designed for intermediate to advanced users who are proficient with the appointment book and billing workflows. Best Practice trainers will begin by performing a deep-dive of the reporting module to give users insight into a variety of reports ranging from financial, auditing, accreditation, and analytical reports. You'll be shown how to improve your data quality through Bp Utilities and the Database Search feature, which is paramount for accreditation. In addition, the trainers will spend a considerable amount of time in the word processor window showing users how to create and manage templates, letterheads, and using the Online Directory and other third-party directories to send letters. The session will finish with the Subpoena Tool.
Target audience Designed for users who are already comfortable with the appointment book and billing workflows within the software, the course is fast-paced. Users will need to have a sound grounding within the software before attending. A good understanding of the Bp Management module and System Configuration is required for this course.
