Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Internal Medicine Training

Background:

  • Internal medicine (IM) training programs differ significantly worldwide.
  • Understanding these variations is crucial for global medical education standards.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and categorize fundamental internal medicine training patterns across 79 countries.
  • To analyze common training structures for internal medicine sub-specialists.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive review of internal medicine residency programs in 79 countries.
  • Analysis of training duration and structural components for both general and sub-specialty IM.

Main Results:

  • Two primary patterns of general IM training were identified: basic (3-4 years) and advanced (5-7 years).
  • Three common patterns for sub-specialty IM training emerged: dual, core, and separate training models.

Conclusions:

  • Global internal medicine training exhibits distinct basic and advanced pathways.
  • Sub-specialty training in internal medicine is structured through dual, core, or separate approaches.
