For Ur medical spec, mrcp is intermediate exam, go a few times sure pass
Exit is local exam
For surgery, some like ent just sit mcq nia
Others like Ortho all local exams, the m.med sugery is a formality exam with a half baked dessertation Nia
Not suggesting FM MMed is above FRACGP or MRCGP.
But suggesting that FM be treated the same as other disciplines.
I heard that the reason why MOH does not want GPs taking MRCGP or FRACGP is because if they did it would mean some of these GPs will be eligible to move abroad to work as GPs/FPs.
Hence they don't want to risk losing talent.
In other words MOH is intentionally limiting the options for GPs.
If all MMEd exams are "formality exams" then why is MMed Fam Med different?

Again I think it is because MOH fears that if GPs all had their MRCGP or FRACGP they will likely move abroad.
