Many many years back Dr. Sunil Seneviratne Epa visited GMOA general committee.
At that time none of the present day big bosses were at the GMOA.
His idea was to enlighten the General committee on Revalidation!He was genuinly backing CPD.
It was like a site following a bomb blast.All the attempts of making CPD a mandatory component for re registration of the SLMC membership was defeated at that general committee meeting!
Dr. Shantha Abeywickrama from Ratnapura(now working abroad) and Dr.Milroy of Kegalla(now at Gampaha District B.U) were among the worriers!
I was also among the many proud branch sec. who contributed at that meeting....!
Why was that attempt defeated?
These were among the reasons!
1.That CPD programme was directly linked to SLMC registration.
2.No mechanism of providing facilities to the doctors was linked to this.
3.No additional benifits were given to the doctors who join this programme.
4.The democratic pathway was not followed during the formation of the
programme.No doctors opinions were considered.
5.practical aspectes were not given the due consideration.The doctors in the
peripheries were cornered and were put in to a deeper trouble!
CPD linked revalidation was defeated not to come for many more years!
