What is Internal Medicine?

Internal medicine is a specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Internists, or doctors of internal medicine, specialize in complex conditions that affect the internal organs of the body. They manage both acute and chronic illnesses and are experts in treating conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension.

Internists often serve as primary care physicians for adults, providing preventive care and managing overall health. They are skilled in diagnosing difficult-to-identify conditions and developing long-term treatment plans.
