[Post-graduate education in internal medicine in the United Kingdom: issues for comparative evaluation] Annali italiani di medicina interna : organo ufficiale della Società italiana di medicina interna. [Ann Ital Med Int] Journal article

The structure and the organization of Internal Medicine post-graduate training in the United Kingdom are described. Those aspects that differentiate the British and the Italian post-doctoral training in Internal Medicine are highlighted. Considerations are made about the different nature of an analytic British education as compared to the synthetic approach of the Italian curriculum. The widespread United Kingdom policy of an Internal Medicine approach to clinical training before entering the medical sub-specialty practice is also underscored.
