Referring to VitaMin's post.
The Academy of Family Physicians run many courses each year. You can give them a call at 03-40417735.
These are tailored for the busy GP, meaning you study on your own. You will be required to attend weekend classes only occasionally.
Good luck.
Cheers! |

| Would someone from the Academy of Family Physicians/ other learnt persons enlighten us which qualifications are recognised for 'specialist qualification' , both local and overseas? |

The membership exam conducted by the Academy is recognized as a specialist degree by the Academy of Medicine. This is conducted over a year and is fairly intensive. You will be assigned a mentor who will guide you along. There will be weekend courses. An added attraction is the fact that the conjoint exam you sit for will also gain you fellowship of the Australian College of GPs provided you sign as a member first and you pass the exam.
You can give the college a call for the details.
Cheers! |

| A fresh graduate mentioned she heard the rumour that MRCP - adult internal medicine, (not paediatrics) would soon be recognised as in UK. It means that it will be only a diploma enabling one to be selected for further training to become specialists, either through Masters routes or otherwise. That means that MRCP would not be a specialist diploma per se. One needs something like CCT, CCST, or Masters or FAMS etc to be registered as specialists with Academy of Medicine. Anyone have a better picture? |

| The current discussion about the training of medical students in terms of clinical skills etc generate interest in the various degree programs offered in and out of Malaysia. One patient commented that to spend one million ringgit each on our children to get a MD from US, MBBS from Australia,UK and Ireland is really worth the training- a lifelong skill acquisition, instead of going to the other less known new private institutions. This is especially so if sone need to consider further specialist training. Any opinions? |

Your question has been highlighted in the MMR post here:
http://medicine.com.my/wp/?p=626
It would be better to start of new threads in the forum if you are diverging from the main topic otherwise your questions on different issues will get buried in a long long discussion thread as is going on here. |

But MBBS/MD holders practicing aesthetic medicine in private, are giving botox injections -- coz they are qualified doctors anyway! Nowadays many aesthetic centres hire doctors to be part of their team, so that they can do more procedures which are not allowed to be done by usual beauticians/aestheticians.

Many of a time, I see doctors with postgrad qualifications which are not recognised by the MMC, for eg. Master of Dermatology from Cardiff, or even holders of MRCGP/FRACGP, but are practicing as dermatologists or specialist GP in Malaysia. Question is, are they allowed to do that? What's the "consequences" for such doctors practicing as specialists in the private sector? Can they charge the public at a higher/specialist consultation charges? What will the MMC do if such doctors are "revealed" to them?

An MBBS/MD doing aesthetic work is asking for trouble. It is worse if they team up with beauticians. Your MDU insurance will not cover this action.

But if you read this:
http://www.aaamed.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=Membership.main
Seems like it is "legal" for doctors to obtain such knowledge and practice aesthetic medicine. Anyone else with other opinion? :)

Sure, it's legal. But if you get sued by a patient, your actions will be hard to defend in a court of law. Were you properly trained for this type of work? What about your beautician associates? Are you prepared to "cover" for them should they slip up?
Cheers! |

| There are two ways of becoming 'specialists' in our country. One through gazettement, the other through credentialling. MRCP, MRCPCH, MRCOG etc holders need to go through one and half years of supervision and monitoring for gazettement. However those who opt to join private practice straight after membership, or those who obtain mebership after joining private practice, they can only go for credentialling. Those joining the universities as lecturers after being back from overseas need to be credentialled too. This is how I understand it. Am I right? However, I do not know the exact process and details of credentialling. Can someone enlighten me? |
