N1 - Funding Information: Psychosomatic medicine has existed as an area of clinical and research interest within psychiatry for nearly 100 years. 1 The pioneering work of Deutsch, Cannon, and Alexander helped provide early evidence of the connections between emotional dysregulation and systemic medical illness. 2 By the 1960s, Psychosomatic Medicine was better known in clinical practice as Consultation–Liaison(C–L) Psychiatry, and had gained acceptance as an independent area of knowledge and training within Psychiatry in the United States and abroad. 3–5 Fellowship programs in C–L Psychiatry began to appear within several major United States teaching hospitals, supported by the development of NIMH training grants. In 1976, Houpt and colleagues published a three-part series introducing the concept of competencies in C–L Psychiatry. 6–8 The Residency Review Committee in Psychiatry first specified training requirements in C–L Psychiatry for residents in General Psychiatry residency programs in 1977. 9 , 10 In 2003, the ABPN officially recognized Psychosomatic Medicine as a subspecialty of Psychiatry, and the first Psychosomatic Medicine Board Examination was given in 2005. Colleagues in Europe have also been developing competencies for Psychosomatic Medicine through expert- consensus processes. 4 , 11 Funding Information: The American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) officially recognized Psychosomatic Medicine as a subspecialty of Psychiatry in 2003. To date, 45 fellowship training programs have been accredited by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The ACGME and the ABPN approached the Academy of Psychosomatic Medicine (APM) requesting collaboration to define core competencies for the field. More than 40 leaders in the field of psychosomatic medicine collaborated to arrive at a consensus regarding the core abilities that a Psychosomatic Medicine Fellow should master by the completion of a fellowship in psychosomatic medicine. After multiple iterations, the composite document was submitted to both the ABPN and the ACGME for their review and approval. The initial draft was returned with suggestions for improvement. A second draft was submitted to the ABPN and the ACGME; it was approved pending a final edit. In May 2008, both the ABPN and the ACGME approved the following Core Competencies for Fellowship Training in Psychosomatic Medicine (PM).
