To determine knowledge and skills competencies in internal medicine for the undergraduate curriculum in Saudi Arabia, competencies were identified based on group work utilizing common textbooks. The Delphi Technique was used as a consensus method to determine and prioritize competencies in internal medicine. A group of 20 clinicians rated the identified competencies from 0-3 (0: no need to know, 1: interesting to know, 2: should know and 3: must know). After formulating the results, a second Delphi round was conducted with 5 experts in internal medicine. A total of 1513 knowledge competencies and 189 skills competencies were determined and prioritized. The competencies corresponded to the 12 systems in internal medicine. All competencies rated 2.2-3.0 were produced separately and considered core competencies for the undergraduate internal medicine curriculum. Determining and prioritizing competencies should influence the curriculum reform process.
为确定沙特阿拉伯本科医学课程的内科知识和技能能力，我们基于共同使用的教材进行了小组工作，确定了能力，并利用德尔菲技术（Delphi Technique）作为一种共识方法来确定和确定内科的能力优先顺序。一组 20 名临床医生对确定的能力进行了 0-3 分（0：无需了解，1：有兴趣了解，2：应该了解，3：必须了解）的评分。在制定结果后，我们对 5 名内科专家进行了第二轮德尔菲调查。共确定并确定了 1513 项知识能力和 189 项技能能力。这些能力与内科的 12 个系统相对应。所有评分在 2.2-3.0 之间的能力都被单独列出，被认为是本科内科课程的核心能力。确定和确定能力应该会影响课程改革过程。
