| CFPS Family Medicine Modular Course |
|
MOH has earlier announced the establishment of a Family Physician (FP) Register. The Family Medicine Modular Course (FMMC) run by the College of Family Physicians Singapore (CFPS) for the Graduate Diploma in Family Medicine (GDFM) programme will be recognised as an accredited modular course for entry into the Register for family doctors who qualify to enter based on their years of experience.
The FMMC has been published on the CFPS website and is open to all interested doctors who are either considering entry to the FP register via this route or for purpose of CME accrediting. The FMMC would also serve as a good source for up-to-date knowledge on family medicine practice.
The new cycle of FMMC modular courses starts in August 2010. For more information, please visit the CFPS webpage below.
