The Malaysian Medical Association (MMA) is the body that represents registered medical practitioners in Malaysia. In 1994, it introduced a national Continuing Medical Education (CME) system on a voluntary basis for all doctors in the country. As a longstanding member of the MMA Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Committee, I wish to record some reflections on the MMA CPD System and document the history and the pioneering work of MMA in the area of CPD.
