They should have adopted the Australian RACGP training programme which is world renowned for producing specialist GPs able to act as mini-specialists in all specialities due to the need to be able to practice independently in remote areas. Canada is another country with superior FM training but it's demographics are less like Singapore's compared to Australia.

What's Ur basis for saying the sg residency is subpar? Did u train in both? Any measures done objectively in any studies anywhere? Didn't Ur racgp training teach u anything about evidence based statement?
If not, then dun bring your amdk sense of superiorty here and snub local pls. Study a few years overseas then come here and blow. If so pro, no need go overseas to study medicine Liao la. Just pass Ur racgp exam and feeling top of the world is it ? Hello...still a gp nia. What world renowned for producing mini specialist and specialist gp. Self glamourising , desperate for recognition and need for validation to be call a specialist? The racgp is still a 3 year program like almost everywhere else in the world.
Giving duodart for bph does not make u urologist. Able to deliver a baby does not make u an obesterician. Able to cut out some bcc and scc out does not make you a dermatologist.
FM training is not about acting as mini specialist. It's a broad based discipline. What mini specialist..unless u tell me u can do a angioplasty for the guy with stemi in the rural area, repair the triple AAA etc.
I'm proud to be a generalist trained by the sg fm residency. I dun need to call myself a mini specialist or be recognised as one and certainly doesn't need a racgp curriculum to serve the needs of the sg population well.
