About the Programme

This programme is designed for medical students or junior doctors who wish to expand their theoretical knowledge of general internal medicine and apply this practically in the clinical environment. This content is an introduction to a variety of key medical specialities, and it provides a great opportunity to learn from any remote location. The programme is designed to be an interactive and fun way to consolidate existing knowledge or develop a new understanding of common clinical presentations to general internal medicine. We hope the programme is an interesting way to provide knowledge of what is commonly seen in general internal medicine, which can be used when managing patients in an acute or general medical setting as a junior doctor.
