Categorical medicine - three year program to become an internist or follow up with a fellowship to subspecialize.
Preliminary medicine - one year of IM training - prior to Derm, Radiology, Anesth, etc. Some other specialties want you to have one year of IM prior to starting their program.
Transitional medicine - almost the same thing as preliminary - but might not have as much IM
