Programme evaluation of the general internal medicine training programme.

ABSTRACT: General internal medicine (GIM) has predominantly been perceived as a joint specialty to be completed alongside specialty training in the United Kingdom. The Internal Medicine (IMT) Stage 2 curriculum was released in August 2022;¹ in October 2022 the Round 2 Specialty Training recruitment included applications for the pilot GIM training programme, and in February 2023 NHS England commenced the 3-year programme. The GIM programme aims to provide run-through training for GIM to Certificate of Completion of Training (CTT). This report establishes the initial recruitment demographics of trainees, as well as an analysis of the successful applicants' perspectives on the programme and their motivations for applying.
