When you undertake your Internal Medicine Training in the East Midlands you will have weekly bleep free afternoon sessions taking you, over three years, through the whole curriculum. You'll join a scheme designed to give you a wide range of experience in big city and rural hospitals, general medicine, the medical specialties, intensive care medicine and the treatment of chronic disorders. Rotations will be comprised of 4-month attachments in the first 2 years, with 4 months of mandatory Health Care of the Elderly in IM Year 1, and, a 4-month ITU attachment in IM Year 2. The IM3 year will be two 6-month jobs focused on preparing you to be a Specialty Registrar and helping you acquire the skills you need to run a take.
The hospitals where you will be based are amongst the busiest in the country, providing you with a high volume of work and a wealth and variety of clinical experience. You'll be exposed to both specialised environments (such as haematology and hepatology) but also to unselected admissions, giving you the best of both worlds.
In addition to clinical training, we encourage trainees to develop skills in research, teaching, leadership or management.
