Internal Medicine

Internal medicine focuses on the comprehensive care of adults, addressing everything from preventive health to the management of chronic and complex conditions. Physicians trained in this field, known as internists, are skilled in diagnosing, treating, and monitoring a wide range of adult illnesses while emphasizing long-term health and disease prevention.
Many internists pursue subspecialties, allowing them to provide highly focused care in areas such as cardiology or endocrinology, while general internists manage multiple conditions and coordinate overall care. Internists also play a key role in preventive services, including routine screenings and health planning, and are experienced in collaborating with other specialists to ensure seamless treatment. Because of their broad yet specialized training, patients often build long-term, trusted relationships with their internists that support consistent, high-quality care over many years.
