Internal Medicine is a medical specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases in adults. Physicians specializing in internal medicine, often called internists, are experts in managing complex medical conditions that affect the internal organs and systems of the body. Unlike general physicians who treat patients of all ages, internists focus exclusively on adult patients, providing comprehensive care for a wide range of illnesses. They are skilled in diagnosing and managing chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, lung disorders, kidney problems, and autoimmune conditions. Internists often manage multiple co-existing conditions in a single patient, requiring a deep understanding of how different diseases interact. They conduct thorough evaluations, order and interpret diagnostic tests, prescribe medications, and may perform some procedures. While they do not perform surgery, they often coordinate care with surgeons and other specialists. Internists work in various settings, including hospitals, clinics, and private practices, providing both inpatient and outpatient care. Their extensive training and focus on the intricacies of adult health make them vital for managing complex medical issues and promoting long-term well-being.
