Exploring options for family medicine subspecialisation in South Africa: A proposed way forward following a national workshop

This article reports on a national workshop convened by the College of FPs of South Africa to explore future subspecialisation pathways in FM. It represents an initial, exploratory phase of a broader research and policy development process rather than a hypothesis-driven empirical study. The purpose of sharing these findings is to document key deliberations, generate dialogue within the Colleges of Medicine, and inform the design of subsequent consensus-building steps, including a Delphi study.

Abstract

This article reports on a national workshop convened by the College of FPs of South Africa to explore future subspecialisation pathways in FM. It represents an initial, exploratory phase of a broader research and policy development process rather than a hypothesis-driven empirical study. The purpose of sharing these findings is to document key deliberations, generate dialogue within the Colleges of Medicine, and inform the design of subsequent consensus-building steps, including a Delphi study.
