What is Internal Medicine?
Internal medicine is a medical specialty that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of health conditions in adults. Internal medicine doctors, known as internists, are experts in managing complex medical issues and are particularly skilled in diagnosing conditions that may not be immediately obvious. Unlike family medicine, which also treats patients of all ages, internal medicine is focused exclusively on adult patients.
Internists are trained to provide a broad scope of care, from managing chronic diseases like diabetes and hypertension to diagnosing rare illnesses and complex conditions. Their expertise in understanding how different body systems interact makes them excellent at providing comprehensive, holistic care.
