Core offering

The European Board of Internal Medicine (EBIM) develops and disseminates standards, curricula, certification processes, and educational resources for postgraduate internal medicine training across Europe. Its core deliverables include the European Curriculum of Internal Medicine (2016), the European Certificate in Internal Medicine (ECIM), the forthcoming European Exam in Internal Medicine (planned for late 2026/early 2027), and a Training Centre Accreditation program. Supporting offerings include online learning resources, interactive medical cases, a clinical guidelines platform, and a community forum for trainees and internists.

Product overview

The European Board of Internal Medicine (EBIM) operates as a multi-component educational and certification platform for internal medicine training across Europe. The core offerings consist of the European Curriculum of Internal Medicine (2016), which establishes minimum training standards; the European Certificate in Internal Medicine (ECIM) for confirming competency for independent practice; and the European Exam Internal Medicine, an online examination scheduled for launch in late 2026/early 2027 with RCPI as the exam provider. Supporting these core components are the Training Centre Accreditation program, the EBIM in the Loop newsletter for regular updates, the Interactive Medical Cases for case-based learning, the Online Learning Resources hub (including calculators, clinical reasoning exercises, and links to NEJM cases), the Community Forum for peer discussions, EFIM Academy for additional educational content, and the Guidelines Platform aggregating clinical guidelines. EBIM functions as a standards-setting and certification body rather than a technology product company, with its platform primarily serving the medical education and professional certification needs of European internists and trainees.
