You mean the Cambodians from Fujian

The attitudes towards practising medicine in this forum are absolutely cynical and disgusting

We have the Resident Pipeline to train doctors who do the right thing

Just wait for them to pass MMED and the quality of docs will increase!

True, my cluster (west) has increased their intake from 7-8/year just 3 years ago to now 30+/year. (Current R1 batch)

From the way I see it, it seems that family medicine (GP/FPS) are very replaceable. (Not that they are useless/unimportant, just that it's very easy to find someone to replace them)-maybe it's just the sheer volume of GP/FP nowadays.

Not sure if specialist are the same? I personally think GM and Geri or even gs is pretty much the same. Not sure about the more specialized fields, esp the procedural ones (like neurosurgery/cardio thoracic surgery/spine surgery, or like cardio interventionist) are more indispensable (as there are fewer trainees each year)

And for those who already entered into a generic field (like FM/AIM), how can they make themselves more valuable or indispensable to the institution (Can be public/private) so that they can't be replaced so easily ...

I can add on this.
But then I thought why share? If I share then I lose my edge.
LOL!

FM is a numbers game. You are valuable to the clinic if you can constantly produce (attend to as many patients within the same timeframe).

Your personality is a key factor. Never argue or question the patient. If he/she wants this, try to give it to him/her as long it’s within the legal limits. Retaining your patient base is important if you want to maintain steady patient flow and revenue.

This means giving out referral letters if the patient wants and knowing when and how to dish out MCs.

Is it fair to say that internal med is a more specialised GP/fam Med doctor?
