Why Junior Doctors Should Choose Osler as Their CPD Home in 2026
Every December and January, thousands of junior doctors find themselves in the same position: scrolling through CPD Home options, comparing costs, tallying requirements, and trying to guess which provider will make their life easiest over the next 12 months.
If you’re early in your career — juggling rosters, night shifts, coursework, exams, relocations, and the daily unpredictability of clinical work — the last thing you need is a CPD system that adds friction, uncertainty, or extra admin.
Osler was built to solve exactly that.
As a CPD Home dedicated to improving the learning lives of Australian doctors, Osler is fast becoming the platform junior doctors choose when they want a CPD experience that is useful, intuitive, and high-value. If you’re making your 2026 decision soon, here’s why Osler deserves serious consideration.
1. It Saves You Time — A Lot of Time
Junior doctors don’t have much of that to spare. Osler bakes efficiency into every corner of the platform:
One-click activity logging
Automatic time capture for built-in tools (logbook, self-reflection journal, feedback tools, scratch notes)
Smart collections that help you knock over hard-to-get categories like Reviewing Performance and Measuring Outcomes
Automated entries for common tasks like self-audit, peer review, multisource feedback, and QI activities
Instead of manually calculating hours, hunting down certificates, or trying to remember what you learned last week, Osler keeps you organised without you having to think about it.
2. Do all 50 hours on Osler
You can quite literally complete all your CPD requirements on Osler and never have to leave.
The library showcases over 4,000 pieces of evidence-based educational content, including articles, journal reviews, procedure modules, videos, quizzes, infographics and links to recommended third party content.
Our collections of resources for Reviewing Performance and Measuring Outcomes allow you to complete self reflections, self assessments, case review webinars, audits, feedback programs and log books, all of which can earn you CPD time.
And unlike some providers, Osler doesn’t charge extra for its resources. Everything is included. You don’t need to buy courses, seminars, add-ons, or premium upgrades.
If you’re studying for exams, rotating through new terms, or just trying to stay current, having this depth of material at your fingertips is invaluable.
Self assessments help you hit your Reviewing Performance hours.
3. A-grade support
We stand by our claim that Osler has the best support structures and service of any CPD Home available.
Just consider the following:
Thorough, spaced onboarding process
Help guides built into your dashboard
Dozens of help articles and webinars to get you started and maintain your momentum
An AI Coach, trained for over 2 years to provide guidance and support
A highly responsive support team of medical educators with over 50 years of experience in supporting and managing junior doctor development and education
Osler helps you stay up to date with regular updates, progress reports and notifications
4. Designed for Junior Doctors From Day One
Osler has been shaped by nearly a decade of feedback from over 20,000 members globally — many of them interns, residents, and registrars.
The result is a platform that feels like it understands your world:
You can log activities instantly during a shift.
You can track procedures, consults, corridor teaching, and incidental learning.
You can document reflections, audits, and feedback without needing to leave the platform.
You get simple, intuitive dashboards that show you exactly where you’re up to.
And if you ever get stuck, built-in support is just a click away.
This is why so many junior doctors describe Osler as the only CPD system that actually reduces their admin.
5. Osler Makes the “Hard Parts” Effortless
Every doctor knows which CPD categories are hardest to complete:
Reviewing Performance
Measuring Outcomes
These aren’t just difficult because they require extra work — they’re difficult because they often require structure, templates, and documentation that junior doctors rarely have time to build from scratch.
Osler fixes that.
Automated logs for procedures - counts to Measuring Outcomes time
Self-reflection and case-review tools
Reflective Self Assessments to drive Reviewing Performance Hours
Online Case Review webinars to help you with Measuring Outcomes targets
Guided templates for performing audits
Built in peer feedback capture and 360 degree feedback pack
Automatic time calculation for all of the above
What used to take hours can be done in minutes.
You can log all your patients and procedures, with each counting towards your CPD time
6. Cost-Effective Without Cutting Corners
Your early career is expensive — exams, college fees, relocation, rent, courses, life.
When Osler first released, the only option for junior doctors was a single competitor charging thousands of dollars per year. Osler has changed all that, making CPD affordable without reducing quality.
Osler is intentionally one of the most affordable CPD Homes in Australia, without compromising on quality, content, or support.
You get a full CPD Home, comprehensive learning library, portfolio tools, and support for a fraction of the price of traditional providers.
7. A Platform Built for Your Whole Career — Not Just This Year
CPD shouldn’t feel like an annual compliance chore. It should feel like building a meaningful professional portfolio.
With Osler, you keep:
All your learning records
All your reflections and feedback
All your logbook entries
All your certificates
All your audits and QI projects
You’re not renting your learning. You own it. Years from now, you’ll be able to find the details of that lecture you went to, or the fact you learned on a ward round. It’s all there.
Whether you’re applying for a job, switching states, entering a training program, or completing an audit cycle, your portfolio is always there — organised, exportable, and ready.
Your portfolio becomes an incredibly valuable record of your learning for years to come.
8. Your Data Stays Yours
Osler takes privacy seriously.
Your reflective notes, feedback, and self-development data belong to you — not your employer, not your supervisors, not external third parties.
You decide what is shared and with whom.
9. Joining Osler Means Supporting the Future of CPD
Osler isn’t just a CPD Home — it’s a movement to modernise and humanise CPD in Australia.
By joining Osler, you support:
The creation of high-quality, evidence-based content
New tools that streamline audits, feedback, and QI
Innovation that reduces admin and increases learning

In other words: your membership directly shapes the future of CPD in Australia.
10. A Community Built for Doctors — Launching 2026
In the first half of 2026, Osler will introduce a secure, doctor-only community forum — a modern community space designed specifically for healthcare professionals.
You’ll be able to join large public discussion groups, create private groups for your workplace or interest areas, collaborate on cases, share resources, and even message doctors from around the world. Whether you’re seeking clinical advice, building local networks, organising teaching, or simply connecting with colleagues who understand your work, this new community feature will give you a safe, professionally verified environment to learn, share, and support one another.
It’s CPD, networking, and collaboration — all in one place, and only available to registered healthcare professionals.
