Fm is a diverse specialty. After completion of 3 years residency, they will sit for mmed(fm) at the 4th year. They may join polyclinic as senior doctors (fm physicians) or start their own practice.
Fm can practise in comm hosp setting as well.
If they are keen to be educators, or hold senior leadership positions in polyclinic they may continue to pursue a 2 years fellowship. After the 2 years fellowship they may be awarded a fcfps.
