Our Specialty Training

title-line-1

Malaysian doctors may pursue FMS training using the Irish College of General Practice (ICGP) curriculum and assessment. Managed and delivered by RCSI & UCD Malaysia Campus (RUMC), the programme will deliver a curriculum specifically adapted for the Malaysian context.

Delivery of the training will take place in local schemes. Delivery of training for each trainee will take place wholly within one scheme, undertaking both the two years in hospital practice and two years in Family Medicine clinics within the scheme.

Curriculum

MInTFM utilises the Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP) curriculum which defines the learning outcomes for the specialty of family medicine and describes the competences required to practice medicine as a family physician.
