Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Emerging players

• BMJ Learning: Online CME and professional development platform for physicians, including GPs. BMJ Learning competes with SFMG's e-learning and DPC offerings as a digital-first CME provider for primary care.
• DynaMed: Evidence-based clinical reference tool supporting point-of-care decisions. DynaMed overlaps with SFMG's DRC and decision-making frameworks as an alternative standardized clinical reference for GPs.
• UpToDate: Major clinical decision support and evidence-based reference tool widely used by GPs. UpToDate overlaps with SFMG's clinical decision-making framework and DRC dictionary as a competing point-of-care knowledge resource.

Direct peers

• MG France: Major French union and professional society representing general practitioners. While union-oriented, MG France overlaps with SFMG in advocacy, continuing education, and representing the GP community in France.
• Collège de la Médecine Générale (CMG): French national academic body for general medicine of which SFMG is a founding member. CMG represents the broader academic and professional community in primary care in France, overlapping directly with SFMG's mission of promoting general medicine.
• Collège National des Généralistes Enseignants (CNGE): French academic society for GP teachers and researchers. CNGE focuses on training, research, and academic development in general medicine, directly overlapping with SFMG's DPC training, peer group, and research activities.

Others

• HAS (Haute Autorité de Santé): French national health authority that sets clinical guidelines, quality standards, and DPC frameworks. HAS shapes the regulatory and DPC environment in which SFMG operates and is a key stakeholder for any general medicine society in France.

Broad incumbents

• Wonca Europe (European Society of General Practice / Family Medicine): European regional branch of the World Organization of National Colleges of Family Medicine. Wonca Europe is the umbrella organization of which SFMG is a participant, providing comparable CME and academic standards work.
• Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP): Established UK national college for general practice providing training, clinical standards, and member services. RCGP is a larger, more mature analogue of SFMG operating under a similar learned-society model for family doctors.
• American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP): Large US national medical association for family physicians offering CME, clinical resources, and advocacy. AAFP is the most mature scaled version of a GP-focused professional society comparable to SFMG's mission.
