RANZCOG Membership Survey #

All current RANZCOG trainees and specialists were invited to participate in an anonymous online survey distributed electronically through the RANZCOG Continuing Professional Development and Revalidation (CPRD) Committee.

For this research only RANZCOG specialists and specialist trainees were studied. In August 2017, 2,530 RANZCOG members were invited by email to complete the online survey during a three-week window. A reminder email was sent seven days before survey close. Deidentified survey data were downloaded to a secure computer for storage and analysis.

A total of 770 responses from the online survey were received (30.4% response) with full completion by 93% of respondents. Despite Reviewers' opinions, this is actually a favourably-high response rate for a Membership survey.
