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.

Thanks !! So the whole residency for fam med is just 3 years? That's quite a lot less than the other residency programmes which are around 5 years +? What kind of senior positions are there in OPS? Do the fam med consultants earn comparatively less than their colleagues in other specialties?
