KNOWLEDGEABLE INTERNAL MEDICINE & FAMILY DOCTOR

Internal medicine doctors, also known as internists, use scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to promote and care for the general health of adults. They are trained for multi-system diseases, which would be overly complex and challenging for specialists who focus in a single area to manage. Sometimes referred to as "doctors' doctors," those trained in internal medicine practices may be brought in by other physicians to consult on unusual situations.

Becoming a doctor of internal medicine requires training in certain highly-focused sub-specialties: endocrinology, rheumatology, infectious diseases, and neurology. The goal is being able to comprehensively care for adults in both inpatient and outpatient environments. Internists should have experience treating conditions in fields as varied as gynecology, geriatrics, psychiatry, orthopedics, dermatology, ophthalmology, rehabilitation, sleep medicine, and more. Roughly half of their medical schooling is devoted to learning about disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.
