FP is a North American concept.
GP is UK/British Commonwealth

USA is Board of Certification in Family Medicine (BCFM)
Canada is Certification in the College of Family Physicians (CCFP)

? GP is GP
Polyclinic FP or com hospital FP do different thing from GP
You question is like why rheumatologist stay in hospital and earn their meagre 12.x when outside GP (in your imaginary world) earn more

GP and FP 傻傻分不清 还 ji ji wa wa.

I feel that fcfp more for leadership roles. (Also a promotion criteria I guess)
If you just want to do clinical in ops or gp land, I think mmed enough. At least that's what I feel la, having worked in ops 2 years post mmed.

I heard from my senior who is doing fellowship that the fcfp course like very poorly run by the college, it's like everything you need to source for yourself.(like research idea, get ethics approval, find complex cases etc) - also practically impossible to do it without institution support (unlike programme b)
- my senior said he got more support from my institution (ops) than the college itself, although the program is technically under college, and not under the SIs. (Unlikely residency for e.g)

Very strange/different to a senior residency program of other specialities, which I guess is what fcfp essentially
is. Like other SR programme (be it surgical/medical) is more structured and guided I feel.
Just my personal feelings/thoughts
Wondering if other people who did /passed fcfp feel the same?
