Re: Re: help! MS/MD vs FCPS

M S/ MD is a university degree.

While FCPS is a diploma of a private institution [cpsp]

Both are clinical programs.

For MS /MD YOU NEED TO JOIN UNIVERSITY AFFILIATE HOSPITAL .
WHILE FOR FCPS YOU CAN EVEN GET TRAINING IN A PRIMARY CARE HOSPITAL ATTACHED TO CPSP.

Re:

MD/ MS is a university degree awarded in Pakistan.
Fcps is a diploma by a private institute (cpsp-college)
Both are clinical training programme in Pakistan.
As fcps members are larger in number as compared to MD /MS . you will hear much of it. In MD/MS you can get training only in university attached hospital.while for FCPS DIPLOMA which is technically inferior,you can training in any primary health care center attached to cpsp college.
MS/ MD is stronger than fcps , as in Europe diploma has no standing technically.
