TY - JOUR T1 - The new UK internal medicine curriculum  JF - Clinical Medicine JO - Clin Med SP - 103 LP - 104 DO - 10.7861/clinmedicine.17-2-103 VL - 17 IS - 2 AU - David Black Y1 - 2017/04/01 UR - http://www.rcpjournals.org/content/17/2/103.abstract N2 - Reform of physician education is needed to meet the needs of patients, based on comorbidities, chronic disease management and complexity. The Joint Royal Colleges of Physicians Training Board has developed a new internal medicine curriculum for physician training that aims to not only deliver this expectation, but will simplify competency-based education, smooth the transition to the medical registrar role and hopefully fill some of the current empty funded training posts. However, the change process is complex and requires close working with the General Medical Council and other partners in curriculum delivery. ER -
