Multi-Source Feedback

CFEP Surveys’ Multi-Source Feedback tool, sometimes called 360 feedback, allows individual doctors and clinicians to obtain feedback from peers, patients and industry associates to provide unique and varied views into your all-round performance as a medical practitioner.

CFEP Surveys’ Multi-Source Feedback allows registered AMA CPD Home members to earn up to 32.5 hours (of the total 50 hours) CPD requirements under the MBA’s professional performance framework –  while enhancing your ongoing learning to better clinical knowledge, health care improvements, patient satisfaction and professional development.

Additionally, medical professionals are required to annually submit a professional development plan (PDP) as part of the MBA Framework. Completing CFEP Surveys’ Multi-Source Feedback allows clinicians to undertake the following activities that are vital in creating robust and actionable PDP:

  • Collect patient, colleague and peer feedback
  • Undertake a period of self-assessment
  • Gain insights into your own professional behaviour and performance, and
  • Identify areas of strength and professional development opportunities.
