FPM training fees and flexible training options

Find information about flexible training options and fees for the FPM training program.
 

Flexible training 

With prior approval from the faculty and with the support of your head of department and the respective hospital administration, flexible (part-time and/or interrupted training) is possible under specific circumstances. Application is made via the specific form in the FPM training program ePortfolio.

With the exception of recognition of prior experience, all applications for flexible training must be submitted prospectively. A reduced training fee may apply, as outlined in by-law 4.11.

Full-time equivalent (FTE) for part-time training is calculated pro-rata based on 38 hours per week maximum.

Fees

Annual training fees are due on 31 January, 2024.  Non-payment of an annual training fee or registration maintenance fee by 28 February, 2024 will result in a trainee being put into interrupted training and status changed to "Not Financial".

Non-payment of an annual training fee or registration maintenance fee by 31 March, 2024 will result in a trainee being withdrawn from the training program. If you are unable to pay your annual fees by the due date, you should apply for special consideration for extension of annual training fee due date to the college by 31 January 2024.

The college also offers a number of bursaries to trainees suffering severe financial hardship. Each bursary is awarded in the form of a 50 per cent reduction in the annual training fee. Applications must be submitted by 31 January 2024. Visit the trainee bursary page for further information.
