dc.description.abstractAfter 1994, the post-apartheid government decided that primary health care and the district health system would be the cornerstone of their new health policy. As a consequence of this, the academic departments of Family Medicine and primary care recognised the need for a nationally agreed set of training outcomes that were more aligned with these new priorities within the public sector. Thus in 2001, the Family Medicine Education Consortium (FaMEC), representing the eight academic departments of family medicine in South Africa, agreed to a set of outcomes for postgraduate family medicine training. At that time, all departments were running Family Medicine Master’s programmes as part-time training courses for doctors in primary health care. Recognition of the need to move towards full-time registrar training already existed, and because of this steps were taken to register Family Medicine as a speciality with the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA).en_ZA
