Combined internal medicine-pediatrics (med-peds) training has been recognized as a unique, Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited residency pathway since 1967, resulting in more than 10,000 graduates. Med-peds graduates have the option of pursuing combined med-peds fellowships with a 1-year reduction in training time compared with pursuing such fellowships separately. The typical med-peds resident spends 8-9 months in the intensive care unit during residency, with additional rotations in pulmonary medicine; not surprisingly, residents are increasingly inquiring about combined med-peds fellowship training within the fields of pulmonary and critical care medicine. In this review, we outline both the advantages and challenges of such training and present various pathways and considerations to achieve board certification.
自1967年以来，内科-儿科联合（内科-儿科）培训一直被公认为是一条独特的、经毕业后医学教育认证委员会认可的住院医师培训途径，已有超过10000名毕业生。与分别攻读此类专科培训相比，内科-儿科专业毕业生可以选择攻读联合内科-儿科专科培训，培训时间可缩短一年。典型的内科-儿科住院医师在住院期间会在重症监护病房度过8至9个月，此外还会轮转至肺病科；不出所料，住院医师越来越多地询问在肺病和重症医学领域的联合内科-儿科专科培训情况。在本综述中，我们概述了此类培训的优点和挑战，并介绍了获得委员会认证的各种途径和注意事项。
