FCPS Gynae (Obs & Gynae): Syllabus, Duration and Scope in Pakistan

FCPS Gynae (Obstetrics and Gynaecology) is one of the most consistently sought-after CPSP specialties, offering broad clinical scope and strong demand across Pakistan. This guide covers what it involves, the syllabus, and training duration.

What Is FCPS Gynae and Obs?

FCPS Gynae — short for FCPS Obstetrics and Gynaecology — is the CPSP fellowship qualifying doctors as specialists in women’s reproductive health, covering antenatal and intrapartum care, gynaecological surgery, infertility management, and related subspecialties. It follows CPSP’s standard two-part examination and structured training pathway.
