Specialty Skills:

All trainees in AIM must develop a specialist skill. These generally fall into one of five categories:

• Dual CCT (e.g. with Intensive Care Medicine or Stroke)
• Clinical skill (e.g. Acute Oncology)
• Procedural skill (e.g. echocardiography)
• Other (e.g. medical education)
• Research

Guidance on the specialty skills for trainees on the 2009 curriculum is available below

Trainees wishing to apply for a skill which is not on the list should contact SAM. Please be aware that in recent years to both streamline the process and make them more equitable the SAC has removed some trainee-led additions and been more scrupulous on what degree of qualification and experience would be deemed suitable to achieve specialist skill status.

Following transition to the new 2022 curriculum Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS) will no longer be on the specialist skill list as it will be a mandatory requirement for all trainees. However those who are remaining on the old curriculum and have clearly documented this as their specialist skill in the portfolio and with their TPD may still count this.
