The ACOI Council on Education and Evaluation, with the assistance and input of osteopathic internal medicine residency program directors, has worked for the past five years to design a new curriculum for internal medicine training programs. The curriculum is being unveiled in stages. For the academic year commencing July 1, 2010, programs are asked to implement the curricula for medical knowledge, osteopathic practice and principles and scholarly activity on a trial basis. The material necessary to accomplish this appears below. Please direct all questions or comments about the curriculum to Robert A. Cain, DO, curriculum subcommittee chair, at racain@sbcglobal.net, or Brian J. Donadio, Executive Director, at bjd@acoi.org.
