Internal Medicine

Internal medicine is a medical specialty that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called internists or internal medicine doctors. They are highly skilled in managing a wide range of medical conditions and providing comprehensive care to adult patients. Internal medicine encompasses various areas of medical expertise, including cardiology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, infectious diseases, rheumatology, nephrology, pulmonology, hematology, and more. Internists are trained to deal with complex medical cases and are often referred to as "doctors' doctors" because they are frequently consulted by other physicians for their expertise.
