Abstract:
We have an outpatient department and a ward (52 beds) in the department of general internal medicine of the Second Tokyo National Hospital. During the rotation of interns for 8 weeks, interns are taught outpatient management by clinical educators one-on-one basis in the clinic, in addition to inpatient management on the wards, and series of lectures on the general internal medicine, emergency medicine and psychosocial issues. We have a residency program from PGY 3 through PGY 5, which emphasizes outpatient continuous management throughout residency. Our residents present their outpatient cases at the daily outpatient conference that all of us would attend. There are 17 graduates of our residency, many of whom are now clinical educators not only in our hospital but also in the university hospitals and teaching hospitals. Research on the way of training rotation of interns by the national hospitals group suggested superiority of the super-rotate training system of the intern. The residency of general internal medicine would become more important not only for the training of primary care physicians but for the training of clinical educators.
