m.med cannot do c section independently unless u from from an alternate universe.
but so can't ur basic fracgp and ccfp.
so where is your basis of comparison that m.med fam med isn't up to the standard of ccfp and fracgp?
just cos u say so?
who are u to say so? u the father of f medicine? or some distinguished professor ?
just cos they are recognised as a ' speciliast' in their country, these fracgp and ccfp are better than sg m.med ?

grow up la.

really cannot argue with idiots. they bring u down their level and beat u with experience.

Mmed can do or cannot do C section independently is not the crux
The crux is we are willing to do it independently and charge 13.80 for it.
The issue now is specialist charging too much.
So we gotta take on more of a procedural role in the future to reduce cost

Yup that has is and always been the plan.
GDFM will soon be worthless in public sector, will need minimum MMed.
No more GDFM FP in OPS. Only MMed and above.
With many MMed-ers churned out from 3 SIs each year, gradually will also spill out into private sector.

Anw what’s all this rubbish about MMed vs ovs FM qualifications.
FM is highly contextualised to the place of practice.
There’s no need to compare.

rubbish is spew by a jelly overseas gp who realise his fracgp is worth **** in Singapore. haha.

not until gdfm is useless in private will sg fam med truly develop.
I mean have u seen how terrible some of the gdfmers are?! I wouldnt trust my enemies with them.

but yes u are right. standard is being step up.
gdfm osce will have real standardised patient this year and pe is needed next year
our gdfm is actually peg to fracgp standard if anyone truly wants to know and moving towards global impression instead of strict pass fail criteria , ie mini m.med standard.

Why standardized patient and not real patient?
U mean gdfm dunno how to do physical exam?

To be honest if mmed cannot do c section what's the difference between gdfm and mmed

Obs is only about c section? Mmed really lacking in OB competency.

It is a violation of your employment contract. That's what it is.
For tax purposes yes self employed. But very easy for your hospital to know you locum when they check with IRAS.

No. You can’t just go to IRAS and request to see what tax someone has declared.
