Jolly good Fellow

I got a letter this week informing me that my name has now been officially entered in the register of Fellows of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. This means not only that I now have the qualification FRACGP to put after my name (in addition to MBBS and DRANZCOG) but more importantly that 12 years of my medical education are officially at an end. Of course the last 6 years I’ve been working full time as well but technically I’ve also been studying most of that time also, first for my exams as part of Surgical training (which was a lot of study), then exams in Obstetrics (considerably less study), and finally the GP exams (study? what’s that?) I think after 12 years I’ve well and truly had my fill of medical education, and although I’ll try and keep up with the latest developments, I think that’s the end of serious medical study for me for the forseeable future. It’s not necessarily the end of tertiary study – in fact I’m quite keen to go back to Uni and do some study in some completely unrelated disciplines at some point in the near future… Just no more medicine please – don’t get me wrong, I love the job – I’m just totally over the text books (other than as an impressive sight on my bookshelves – lol)
