Hi Dr Lavnya well said and I strongly believe many young Drs passing out will consider what u have to say. Well done, I’m myself know more about acute medicine from your video. Tq for sharing your thoughts. Ab
Thanks for the video!! I was just wondering how intense/hard the training is as I can imagine it being really rough having to treat patients acutely and having to know a whole range of different medical conditions.
It is not too bad. It is like working in ED. You have to have a broad clinical knowledge, but you can escalate to the respected specialty if it is too complicated.
can I ask which lipgloss/lipcolor you are wearing in this video? sorry bout the random question but this shade of lipcolor is literally my fav! thanks! :)
Hey ,dr.lavanya, hope you are doing good .. I’m from India and I really love the acute internal medicine speciality .. but I plan on returning to India after I complete my studies in the UK.. as you said I don’t think acute medicine is gonna be recognised here in India.. now I’m confused 😕
Hi there!! Thank you for making this video. I'm interested in internal medicine training in the UK. I have a question, after internal medicine training can we take a few months break before joining our desired speciality/fellowship (like cardiology, hematology, neurology) or is it that only British citizens can take a break of a few months after internal medicine training?
Hello doctor Is it compulsory to do core medical training after FY2 before specialty training or it’s just an option if so what is the advantage ? Thanks in advance 😊
Hey ... Thanks for the information What exactly is the pass percentage of this particular specialty after the training is compeleted .... is it very hard to clear?
Thanks a lot for this great video. I want to ask if someone can do more than one skill in acute medicine such as echo, ultrasound, bronchoscopy? Or only one?
Hi, you only need to do one skill/special interest as part of the training programme. Most trainees only do one skill because on time constrains and you need to keep up the skill in clinical practice. Ofcourse, if you are interested, you can do more. Some do take a year out in order to concentrate on a particular skill.
Hello, My name is Dr. Vedica Sethi, and I have completed my MBBS from Tbilisi, Georgia. I hold a permanent medical license to practice in India, with 2 years clinical experience in emergency medicine and clinical cardiology. And, I am currently preparing for MRCP. While watching the videos, i have come across a form that is called the alternative certificate for core competencies. I would like to know, if having that and gmc registration with a full pass on mrcp, will make me eligible to join a medical residency in internal medicine UK. And, also if 2 form's need to be filled by the consultants in emergency medicine and cardiology, each. Thank you
Hi there can you please guide me regarding Training of Gastroenterology and Hepatology in UK after MRCP and CMT completion. ...what's the process to get into gastroenterology training of FRCP?
Hi, there are different routes to become a gastro/hepatology specialist. After you have completed CMT and MRCP- apply for gastroenterology specialty training. Gastroenterology specialty training is for 5 years- during the training you can sub-specialise in hepatology. What stage of training are you currently? Have you done some/part gastro/hep training in another country?
Can you tell me what are the medicolegality responsibilities that you faced so far ? ... Im sorry another question , What are the most common cases you faced duting your last year ?
Not sure what you mean by medicolegality responsibilities. Common cases- stroke, STEMI, pneumonia, pyelonephritis, falls, UGIB, COPD, asthma, sepsis etc. You might want to see my day in the life video- ruclips.net/video/UR8WED74rig/видео.html
hi api what is difference b&w gp´ internal medicine?? have u 1st completed gp training (3 years ) then started acute internal medicine training?? how much time is required to complete acute internal medicine training??now what is your designation???
Hi, GP is a specialty on its own. It is 3 years in total after FY2. Acute internal medicine is a branch of the medical specialties. I did not do GP training. After FY2, I did core medical training (2 years). Then I applied for acute internal medicine ( 5 years), which is what I am doing now. I am 2 years into my training. My current role is a medical registrar.
Great video. I’d like to ask the duration of Acute Internal Medicine pls. CMT is 2 years (pls correct me if I am wrong) and AIM? is it 4 or 6 years? So what is the total duration of your speciality training? Sorry to bombard you with questions but speciality training durations are so varied in the UK! Thank you 😊
Thanks dear Dr Lavnya for your amazing vedios Kindly can I have a subspeciality in acute medicine like echocardiography and be expert like the cardiologist Which sub speciality in acute medicine do you recommend and why Thanks in advance
Yes, you can choose to do echos as your special skill. I have not decided on my sub-specialty. Most probably will be doing medical education. You can find a full list of the sub-specialty on this site www.jrcptb.org.uk/sites/default/files/Specialist%20Skills%20for%20AIM%202015_0.pdf
Hi Shakar. Acute internal medicine is one of the medical specialties. You will be working in the acute medical unit. In acute medicine, you only see medical cases (adult patients with medical conditions- MI, Stroke, COPD, asthma etc) If you do emergency medicine you will be working in A&E. You see everthing- trauma, ortho, paeds, minor injuries, surgery and medicine. Hope this helps.
Thank you for replying dear doctor, So emergency doctors have a wider spectrum of their duty , as they also do the medical emergencies,, plus non-medical emergencies?so is emergency doctors superior to acute medicine?
@@shakarsalaiy676 Hi yes EM doctors have a broader range of expertise. Not just limited to medicine. I don't think one is superior over the other. They just have different range of expertise. An EM doctor will refer to the medical team/surgical team/paeds team for more specialist input if needed.
Hi lavanya I am not in to training pathway .Can you tell me how many years I should work in medicine and which specialities I should work to go for the specialist I terview??
Hi , I am from india , finished mrcp after mbbs as an overseas candidate .. I was working in critical care in india for the last 6 years.. is there any pathway to do critical care medicine in uk after working in acute medicine dept ? since I am getting placement as speciality registrar post under acute medicine only when I apply for jobs in uk
GP is similar to family medicine in other countries. They work in the community under primary care. Acute medicine doctors, work in the hospital (secondary care). Acute medicine doctors only sees patients admitted to hospital with a medical condition. They don't see any surgery, paediatrics, psychiatry etc cases.
@@mohammadsaif001 No general practice is similar to family medicine. General medicine is based in the hospital (secondary care), they will only see 'medical cases' - no surgery, obgyn,paediatrics etc.
Hi Abishek. You normally do 3-4 nights in a row. Yes you normally have 2-3 days off after working nights. The hours for nights are maximum 12 hours. (You must have minimum 12 hours break/off time between each night shift). For normal day shift it is 9-5. Oncalls/long days are 9-9. Hope this helps.
@Dr.Lavnya Balenderan, so tonight if I do my night duty, then tomorrow morning till that night, I'll be free, then again I'll continue my night duty. That is, tonight if I get to do my night duty, I need not report to work the next day morning, right?
Hi, you can apply for acute internal medicine specialty after internal medicine training. You can find more information about the application process from the ST3 Recruitment website. www.st3recruitment.org.uk/specialties/acute-internal-medicine Hope this helps.
Hi Abishek. No acute internal medicine is a one of the medical specialties. It is not emergency medicine. You will work in the acute medical unit. If you do emergency medicine, you will work in the emergency department or A&E.
@@abishekmahendran6440 Hi, pretty much similar to emergency medicine but just for medical patients. It is like the next step from ED. ED will refer medical patients that require hospital admission to acute medicine.
Hi, route 1- for newly qualified doctors, after completing FY2 or equivalent, apply for internal medicine training (IMT) (3 years), then apply for higher medical specialty training (4 years). During IMT, you will have to do the MRCP. Route 2- If you are a senior doctor and already have experience in acute medicine and are a specialist in another country, you can become an acute medicine specialist in UK via the CESR route.
@@lavnya70 hii i complete my 12 month rotation in 2017 to 2018 Then work as a emergency medical officer for 8 months If i clear plab exam then i got direct admission in IMT or fy2 ?? My interest in anesthesiology please give information about that . If u dont mine please provide yr email for further talk Thank u so much for give a reply
Hi, you do not need IMT to apply for anaesthesiology. After Fy2, you can apply for aneasthetic specialty training. It is best to do FY2 here is UK before applying for specialty training. It will give you a chance to gain NHS/UK experience and prepare you for the specialty trainining applications.
Hi Rabia. There is a number of routes to EM specialty. One way is to do ACCS EM. You should be able to find more information about the different pathway on the RCEM website. Hope this helps. www.rcem.ac.uk
Hello Doctor Lavnya Balenderan I am also currently a medicine student.I want to ask you something about specialisation So can I have your email please?
Hi, not much difference. Acute medicine is purely working in the acute medical units. Most doctors who dual specialise in GIM, also have a another specialty like resp, cardio, gastro etc. So they do both. Acute medicine doctors, only do acute medicine.
This is such an amazing video! So useful and interesting there is hardly any videos out there about acute medicine

Hi Lavanya,thanks for your helpful video,
A quick doubt though what is the difference between critical care(ICU) and Acute medicine?
Thank you for the video. I am a bit curious about the work life balance compared to other specialties and if there are many night shifts
Hi, the on-calls for acute medicine is similar to most other hospital specialties like gastro, cardio, resp etc.
Hello doctor Is it compulsory to do core medical training after FY2 before specialty training or it’s just an option if so what is the advantage ? Thanks in advance 😊
Hi, it is compulsory to do internal medicine training (IMT) (the new CMT) after FY2 if you want to apply for higher medical specialty training.
