MCPS = Member of college of physicians and surgeons (PAK) , it is of 2 years, and you can enter its training without examination and you will have to take exam at the end of training.
FCPS = Faculty of college of physicians and surgeons (PAK) , its training is of 4 -5 years depending on the subject. You will have take FCPS-I exam to enter its training, IMM (Intermediate Module) after 2 years, if passed then proceed to remaining training, and at the end of full training have to take FCPS-II exam, and then you qualify as FCPS (Specialist).
For FCPS Familiy medicine accredited institutes by CPSP, these are The Aga Khan University Hospital and Ziauddin University. For MCPS Family medicine Dow University of Health Sciences is accredited by CPSP.

u welcome, i didnt get what FP is ??
offcourse FCPS is better as it has higher value, and MCPS is like a mini-diploma, and FCPS is a higher PG diploma.
