Through the Alliance for Academic Internal Medicine (AAIM) Redesign Task Force, APDIM, along with other AAIM member organizations, is addressing education redesign issues from the clerkship through the fellowship and across all specialties.

As a result of APDIM and AAIM's work to build consensus, the internal medicine subspecialty community has agreed to move the Medical Subspecialties Matching Program (MSMP) to the first Wednesday of December in the third year of residency. This change provides learners with a better timeline in which to make their decision about subspecialty training. The change will go into effect in 2012 for fellows who start July 1, 2013.

The Educational Innovations Project (EIP) Collaborative includes 18 internal medicine residencies that are part of the EIP accreditation model as supported by the Residency Review Committee for Internal Medicine.  The EIP Collaborative invites you to review its website to learn more about some of the novel and creative curricular ideas that have been tested through this initiative.  The collection of programs will use this site to promote its vision of best practices for educating internists in the 21st century.
