Fellowship in Rural and Remote Medicine SRPC (FRRMS)

2009|

Rural doctors practise a distinct form of medicine that has many challenges and requires a varied skill set and an ability to work under sometimes difficult circumstances. The Society of Rural Physicians (SRPC) believes that this dedication to the profession and the acquired expertise should be recognized. To this end the SRPC has created the Fellowship in Rural and Remote Medicine (FRRMS). The criteria are: The physician must have worked in rural and remote Canada for 10 years. The physician must be a member of the SRPC and have been a member for at least 5 years. In addition the recipient must have a minimum of 10 of the following credits: SRPC sponsored CME events such as R&R, McGill emergency courses, RCC, GP anesthesia course in Banff, GP surgery course in Banff, SRPC regional CMEs and other CMEs sponsored by SRPC - each is counted as one credit. Each year of preceptoring for medical students or residents in a rural/remote community is counted as one credit. Each full year of involvement in an SRPC committee is counted as one credit. Seventy ninge doctors qualified for Fellowship in 2009.
