Jesus, Kromm (MYLF), do Canadian FPs really get 40 minute appointment slots? Here in the southern provinces 15 minutes is considered generous...
I guess I'd accept an FP having 12 points in a generous distribution of skills, including surgery (they do OB), nonetheless. And
Research skill, and something that lets them consult and refer to experts, unless that's assumed in the job description.
FP residency is three years. Internal Medicine residency is also three years, and might either buy you a higher skill or a specialization. You'd certainly get a specialization and/or higher skill if you did a fellowship.
Surgery residencies
start at five or six years, and especially when doing trauma you're under time constraints. I think Surgery-14 is defensible for most surgeons.*
Remember, First Aid defaults to Physician -0. An MD may not have to waste points on it.
