Program Description
Technologic development, individual life style changes and more exposure to environmental risk factors have changed the picture of disease pattern (communicable, non-communicable).
On the other hand extreme interest of Internists for graduating in sub-specialties of internal medicine, and restricting their academic and professional activities to their subspecialties, and large space allocation in Public Hospital to the equipment needed for these subspecialties are a challenging problem for the health system and Academic Authorities and Internal Medicine Science itself. In this regard with considering widespread borders of our country, community needs, General Internal Medicine with its Holistic View is in serious need for more support and attention.
Considering all the above mentioned facts, with having in mind the necessity of strengthening General Internal Medicine wards for training general Practitioner to be, we decide to revise the curriculum with getting help from all experts in these fields.
