following is a list of skills, which a trainee would be expected to have
acquired by the end of a three year residency programme, Clearly it will not be
possible to ensure that all skills are mastered in a three month programme, but
they should be issued as a form of check list which the general
practitioner/family physician can then ensure he masters over a period of time
in clinical practice. Many of the more basic skills will already have been
mastered during previous medical service, in which case the skills should be
assessed for currency and proficiency.

CANDIDATES TO RECEIVE DIPLOMA IN FAMILY MEDICINE JOINTLY FROM AHREF & RCGP
The (UK) Royal
College of General Practitioners (RCGP), which is the leading academic
institution in UK for family medicine, and Apollo Hospitals Group have had an
educational collaboration over many years, with RCGP jointly accrediting
courses run by Apollo.
Two courses are
currently on offer, each carefully tailored to the needs of family doctors in
India. The first – the Diploma in Family Medicine – gives family doctors in
India a chance to upgrade their knowledge and skills and attitudes through on
line study followed by full time clinical attachments. Taught by Apollo staff,
the course is quality assured by advisors from RCGP, who also act as external
examiners during the final assessments. Successful candidates are then
encouraged to study for the international exam for Membership of the Royal
College of General Practitioners (MRCGP[INT]).
The Diploma in
Emergency Medicine is aimed particularly at doctors based in the community but
who have a special interest, or extended role, in the provision of emergency
medicine services. This course is also taught by Apollo staff but quality
assured by RCGP.
Both courses
offer GPs an opportunity to gain useful theoretical and practical experience and
we look forward to ongoing collaboration with Apollo on these excellent
programmes.
