HIV and the general internal medical curriculum - by Rob Laing
1. HIV and the GIM curriculum
• GIM training
– One year high-intensity GIM (typically DGH)
– Two years low intensity GIM undertaken alongside
speciality
– Competency based but with set numbers of
unselected acute admissions, outpatient clinics
and mandated speciality experience
– Likely to change
2. HIV and the GIM curriculum
• Problem based/competency measured
• HIV not signposted within curriculum but
relevant to some common conditions
• No HIV teaching mandated for STs
3. Local HIV teaching
• CMTs – two hour didactic Infection teaching
per year
– Includes case-based HIV teaching
• ST3+ - Half day teaching in ID every two years
– Variable mount of HIV teaching in this
– Trainee directed
– Tendency to be influenced by listed competencies
4. HIV and GIM
• Specialities attending HIV clinics
– Curriculum driven mainly
– GI, Dermatology, Obstetrics, renal medicine, chest
medicine
• Questionable value of outpatient clinic
• Limited inpatient opportunities
5. HIV and GIM

in GIM to know about HIV?

– Basic understanding of HIV therapy
• Treatment should not be interrupted
• Drug interactions should be considered
