CPSP FCPS training program consists of core training and rotational training. Core training is done in the primary speciality, during the core training the residents undergo 2-3 months rotational training in other relevant specialities according to their fellowship program.
E.g. in Medicine & Allied, a trainee will do first 2 years training in the medical ward, during these 2 years he will also have to undergo mandatory rotational training in allied fields depending upon their group e.g. cardiology/ gastroenterology/ Pulmonology etc.
To know the exact number and duration of your rotations you can consult your speciality prospectus or contact CPSP RTMC section by email or phone directly.
Rotational training can be done anytime during the initial 2 years for pre-imm rotations and in the last 2-3 years in general/sub-speciality training, depending on your supervisor & department.
It must be again emphasized that you should undergo rotations as per the most recent cpsp guidelines for your speciality, because you will have to show rotational experience at the time of applying for exams and RTMC re-registration.
