The
MPC Program has medical and dental practitioners and pharmacists as
the target audience in the current phase. It would include other categories
of health professionals in due course.
The MPC Program is run on a five-year cycle basis. Medical and dental
practitioners who acquire a total of 250 credit points within the five
year cycle would receive a Certificate of Satisfactory Completion of
CME/CPD (CME/CPD certificate). For pharmacists, this target has been
set at 125 points.
Certificates
for Attending CME/CPD Activities
The
certificates that practitioners submit to the CME Center should
clearly state the CME Category and the credit points that may
be claimed.
All accredited CME/CPD activities conducted in Kuwait are registered
under the MPC Program. Activities held abroad will be considered
under Category 2 unless an approved CME authority has assigned
them to a category that is accepted within the scheme in Kuwait.

The first five-year cycle of the program was from 2001 to 2006. Credit
points gained during 2000/01 may be included under the academic year
2001/2002.
Practitioners
who registered in the MPC Program before December 31, 2001 start their
Second MPC Cycle with effect from January 01, 2007.
Practitioners
who wish to attend sessions should submit applications for enrollment
direct to the organizer. Each participant who satisfactorily completes
the activity will receive a letter of attendance as evidence of participation,
and the organizer maintains a record of the names of the participants
who attended the sessions.
Exemption
from CME/CPD Requirement
Trainees enrolled in approved postgraduate training programs and practitioners
registered in advanced degree programs in the fields of medicine, dentistry
or pharmacy may cite such activities as evidence of involvement in CME
when fulfilling the CME credit requirement.
