gdfm fp can only do clinical work. day in day out see 50 patient, v sian. M.med can teach resident , can teach medical student. u talk can also a bit louder. can get involved in workgroups, can do research. u can reject arrows one. who say die die have to do qip, audit or research. so many m.medder just farm silently.

m.med go hospital they recog it. gdfm not reco in hospital.
plus gdfm is not a real post graduate degree. it's just a stop gap measure to build the fp pool.

m.med u become like comission officer lo. minimum can get ac in polyclinic. this year FM become speciality liao. gdfm no longer enough soon.

.
Where are you getting the information that fm becoming a speciality? I just passed mmed in the 2021 exam 2 mths back, didn't hear any news about being recognized as a specialist? (Not that I care too much, as I am Essentially choosing the option which pays the best)

There's alot of fake mohh recruitors posing as happy highly paid FM physicians because thats the flavor of the month. I think last month there was even a "FM physician" who said their annual income with mmed is $200-300k pa.

To suck in gullible medical students and HOs/baby MOs into applying for their hastily put together FM residency because some sucker with a MBBS still needs to see those 50-70 patients a day at low non-specialist pay with a "post-residency" badge. Thats why MOHH is furiously trying to pump up their FM numbers even at the expense of poorly trained so-called mmeds. Even GDFM is way better than mmed because it save time for the doctor to see real patients and also its just less pretentious than their internationally unrecognized FM residency.

Heck, even our neighbours up north FM programme is more worldly renowned than our locally produced FM residency.
