Family medicine masters in medicine (Mmed) embraces the holistic well-being of a patient including the psycho-social cultural aspect, that is left out in the biomedical model that we have mastered from medical school. It acknowledges that health care is also affected by the context we live in which is an important part of health promotion and disease management. Family medicine promotes the comprehensive approach to patient care through its focus on patient centeredness, among the many family medicine principles, and integration with the health system by coordinating patient care with both community level care and specialized level care. The health care need of a society is mostly at the primary health care level and community, this is where more than 60% of the population are treated and only a few proceed to need tertiary care. Family medicine is a medical discipline that promotes community health through its targeted provision of quality primary health care and community oriented primary care. ‘Comprehensive generalist physicians (commonly called family physicians or family doctors) play a central role in PHC-oriented health systems with effective primary care.’ https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/primary-health/vision.pdf The Mmed is a 4-year full time programme. The expectations are to complete five main blocks (adult health, child health, women’s health, emergency medicine and general surgery) of clinical rotation of 14 weeks in year one and 12 weeks in year 3. There are 9 subspecialty blocks (opthalmology, ENT and dermatology, orthopaedics, palliative care, anaesthesiology, primary health care including adolescent and geatric health, health systems and mental health) that have 6 to 8 weeks mandatory clinical or administrative attachment. Stretching across all four years, an applied research project must be completed and handed in as a research assignment. There is a portfolio which registers your personal learning journey and is periodically monitored by your site or rotation supervisor. The assessment includes continuous assessment (largely guided by portfolio), part 1 and part2 Mmed examinations and having dissertation at the end of 4 years. Qualification of Mmed in family medicine entails passing all components of the mentioned assessment.
