HKCFP Conjoint MCQ · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The HKCFP Conjoint MCQ is the written component of the Conjoint Fellowship Examination run by the Hong Kong College of Family Physicians (HKCFP) with the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP). It sits within the College's Vocational Training & Examinations pathway, alongside the Clinical Competency Examination (CCE). The College publishes a dedicated Conjoint Exam section covering eligibility and requirements, exam construct, exam conduct and misconduct, suggested reading, election to Fellowship, and exam fees and dates - these pages, not third-party summaries, are the authoritative reference for candidates. The examination is intended for doctors in vocational family medicine training who are working toward Fellowship, and it assesses the breadth of family medicine practice rather than a single subspecialty. Because the College does not enumerate content domains in the retrieved source, candidates should treat the published exam construct and suggested reading list as the syllabus and build a study plan around them. Practical preparation means reading the exam construct carefully, working through the suggested reading, and rehearsing multiple-choice technique under timed conditions. Topics on this exam: Family Medicine (content domains not enumerated in source). The HKCFP Conjoint MCQ study guide has 1 section and about 389 words.
