General Internists

The Canadian Society of Internal Medicine (CSIM) achieved a key milestone in December 2010: Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) recognition of general internal medicine (GIM) as a distinct subspecialty. Much more work has been done since then, such as developing objectives of training for a new 2-year GIM training program, and additional challenges remain, for example, upgrading training programs across the country, developing a GIM examination for the new RCPSC Certificate in GIM, and attracting the best and brightest into careers in GIM. But it is clear that GIM in Canada has entered an exciting new era. Regular readers of this journal will appreciate that these successes have been through the tireless efforts of many general internists over many years.

The vast majority of general internal medicine (GIM) programs in Canada have become distinct entities that provide training in additional competencies and leadership above and beyond those required for the specialty of internal medicine. In December 2010, after many years of effort, GIM finally achieved recognition as a distinct subspecialty by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. A GIM Working Group has finalized the objectives and requirements for a 2-year subspecialty training program in GIM that will follow after the existing 3-year core internal medicine training program. These documents have now been approved by the Royal College.

Examination Board

A certification exam for the new sub-specialty of General Internal Medicine (GIM) was recently developed by an examination board at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons (RCPSC). The board sought to create an exam that would reflect the challenges faced by practising general internists, while minimizing repetition of material already assessed by the Internal Medicine certification exam. In this paper, the authors present evidence for the validity of the content of the exam.

Competency Based

The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada (RCPSC) is embarking on a multi-year, transformational, educational effort entitled Competence by Design (CBD). General Internal Medicine (GIM) will be part of the 2016 cohort for Competence by Design. One of the first questions is, “What should each graduate be able to do on their first day in practice?” This paper outlines the key educational concepts behind CBD. It was presented in workshop format at the Canadian Society of Internal Medicine Meeting in September 2014. The workshop provided the authors with an opportunity to gather the perspectives and perceptions of more than 40 participants. The authors believe CBD will be an excellent format to ensure our GIM graduates are well prepared for a changing health care system.
