Time for Training cannot be shorter • Internal medicine is complex, high pressure and requires high quality training. • Will take 4 years for Internal Medicine. • MRCP remains essential • To include acute take competences and on-going service thereafter • Will require review of current CMT & Registrar roles • Specialist competence takes at least 3 years
Possible delivery model for a 7 year program • CMT becomes Internal Medicine • 4 years of internal medicine • 3 years before speciality selection • 6 x 6 month posts. • 3rd year ‘junior registrar’ role • 4 years speciality training to include the 4th year of internal medicine. • with contribution to acute take
Credentialing must be • post CST • workforce planned/funded/speciality approved and assessed • delivered well, due to complexity of many potential credentials • centrally resourced • never left to the vagaries of the market/employers • Organised with good governance and equality of standards
