Introduction
Health professionals must maintain, update and enhance their knowledge, skills, and attitude to adequately deliver quality health care. This is particularly important due to a changing disease pattern in which diseases that had been eradicated are now reemerging, as well as an increase of non-communicable diseases. There is a need for CPD to maintain professional competence in an environment of numerous challenges, rapid organizational changes, information technology, increasing public expectations and demand for quality and greater accountability. CPD program is a new initiative in Ethiopia which requires the commitment of different stakeholders (accreditors, CPD providers, ministry of health, regional health office and partners). DebreBerhan University, institute of medicine and health science accreditation office was established in November/2019 and is a corner stone to go one step forward for the institute.
