Acute Medicine
Training Programmes
Information about applying for a specialty training post in Acute Medicine in the UK can be found here. Go to the Yorkshire Deanery Recruitment Site to find out how to make an application.
Once you are appointed to a specialty training post, you must enrol with the Joint Royal College of Physicians Training Board (JRCPTB). This can be done online at www.jrcptb.org.uk . You will then receive your official CCT date and information relating to your training portfolio.
For specialty trainees in Acute Medicine, there are two curricula which you should read and ensure you cover during your training. They are: the generic curriculum and the general internal medicine (acute) levels 1, 2 and 3 curriculum.
