Hi Super, trying to ans ur qs from what I know...
1)yes u can practice some Ob after 3 yrs of FM but its only basic and depends on how good ur Ob training was. If ur FM training is unopposed then I suppose training is good. The trend these days (from what I know) is that FM people stop practising Ob becoz insurance for Ob is high. U refer any complicated cases to Ob/Gyns,MFMs etc. Gyn practice after FM is almost nil. And ofcourse u cannot do a f'ship.
Some FM people I have heard do 1 yr of extra training(called housemanship I think) in a teaching hospital in Ob so they are better trained to practice Ob.
This is what I know and have heard of ...corrections are welcome.
