ONTARIO: GP with FOCUSED PRACTICE a copy of UK GPwSI (GP with Special Interest)
Ontario College Phys & Surgeons (CPSO) has copied UK NHS status of "GPwSI"; above basic GP but below a Specialist. GPwSIs often work as hospital clinic assistants to UK Consultants.
CPSO changed the phrase of "Practice Limited to...."
Now "GP with Focused Practice in..."
The "GP" must be included to le4t the public know that the doctor is NOT a Specialist. (The result of the YAZDANFAR case when a GP who did liposuction killed a patient.)
The new`law will help Specialists who trained abroad but can not or will not take the Canadian specialty exams.
It will also help GPs who want to rise above the herd by taking extra courses. It will also help provide a degree of specialised services in parts of Ontario where Specialists do not want to live.
