I think they are the same la, 3 years of training in all cases. but FM has a lot of local contextualisation. I go over to auzzie also blur about their aboriginal health, they come over to sg they know how much of chronic hep b or our social services?
interestingly someone I know who had a fracgp feels that just because there is a word fellow in his qualification, he should be equivalent to the fcfps. very funny and perhaps reeking too much of an ego.. in America, they award diplomas in their board specialities. I really dun think our diploma in dermatology is equivalent to the USA diploma in dermatology lei.

Looks like the mmeders have become very powerful and very protective of their turf.
I think this is good for local mmeders. No more kow tow to the foreign qualifications now.
The difference though is that sg mmeders if they go to other countries they do get some recognition now. So it is easier for sg fam mmeders to go abroad to work. No wonder they put the salary high high otherwise brain drain!
