title: The future internist. The Task Force on the Future Internist, American Board of Internal Medicine.
abstract: The American Board of Internal Medicine report of the Task Force on the Future Internist argues that, although the basic principles that underlie the structure and organization of internal medicine remain appropriate, the role of the future internist will be affected by predictable economic and social forces. This changed role will require specified changes in the curriculum of internal medicine training programs and in the certification process.
