What will be our fate (can we still stay in ops or go gp land, as we are essentially stuck with a mbbs and I guess equally qualified as a locum NSF? ) Or do we just take up gdfm then?

I asking more from the FM context but I guess the same thing applies to specialist trainess who can't clear the exit exams despite multiple attempts? (What happened to these trainees, do they just stay as RP for the department?)
