In 2019, FNU Postgraduate Diploma in Family Medicine commenced its first cohort of trainees.  The Master of Medicine in Family Medicine will provide a pathway for this cohort and prospective trainees to become specialists in the field of family medicine. This programme contains the same structure as the other MMED programme currently offered by FNU, but with a different specialisation.  The curriculum and learning outcomes will provide the graduate with an equivalent level of expertise to the 'Fellowship' which is offered in Australia and New Zealand by the respective professional Colleges, eg (RACGP; https://www.racgp.org.au/FSDEDEV/media/documents/Education/Registrars/Fellowship%20Pathways/FRACGP/Pathway-to-Fellowship.pdf) and will lead to a specialist qualification.
