The JRCPTB is holding a launch event for the new internal medicine and group 1 specialty curricula that will be streamed live here for anyone to view.
This new model of postgraduate physician training will result in all trainees in group 1 specialties dual training in internal medicine. This will produce doctors who have both specialist and generalist skills, critical to meeting the evolving and challenging needs of patients and the NHS.
If you would like to watch the event live and post questions to the panel, click on the link above from 2.00pm on Monday 1 August.
A full recording of the event will also be available on the JRCPTB website afterwards.
