1 – Background
Continuing professional development (CPD) is an essential approach for health care providers (HCPs) to improve relevant competencies and is required for continuous quality improvement of health practices for better health services.
Jordan developed and published the Health Professional License Renewal Bylaw Number 46 in the Official Gazette in April 2018 and issued instructions in September 2021 for all licensed HCPs in Jordan (approximately 155,000) to complete a required number of CPD hours every five years to renew their practice licenses. Article 5 of the Instructions stipulates that an HCP must submit their application for re-licensure three months minimum before the end of their license period of performance in January 2023. Annex 1 of this scope includes a brief description of the CPD system.
USAID’s Continuing Professional Development Program (CPDP) supports the Government of Jordan’s (GOJ) efforts to improve health care professionals’ (HCPs) competencies to deliver quality health services through the institutionalization of a mandatory continuing professional development system (CPD) for professional license renewal. CPDP will assist the Ministry and other stakeholders to activate the Bylaws and the CPD Instructions.
CPDP has three components:
Local Health System Sustainability (LHSS) is the technical assistance arm to support the MOH in implementing the CPDP. This technical assistance will also extend to the health professional councils (Jordan Medical Council, Jordan Nursing Council, and the High Health Council) and will also engage the private sector.
