Description

<p>The New Training System for the Fellow of the Japanese Society of Internal Medicine (FJSIM) got started since 2018. The certification of FJSIM will be required to become a Board Certified Fellow of Psychosomatic Medicine in Japan. This FJSIM training system requires the acquisition of psychosomatic treatment. The trainees must experience the treatment for sleep disturbance using hypnotics and anxiolytics and need to understand about functional dyspepsia, irritable bowel syndrome and somatic symptom disorder during the training. Because the trainees of psychosomatic medicine also experience patients with psychosomatics from viewpoints of internal medicine, they may become familiar with understanding the biomedical processing of diseases at the state-of-the-art levels. Therefore, mentors will be asked to explain the patient’s condition on the bases of the physical-mental mechanisms and should consider their trainees’ preferences to attract trainees’ interests in psychosomatic medicine. This new training system should be a great opportunity to help the trainees of internal medicine become the Board Certified Fellow of Psychosomatic Medicine in Japan.</p>
