What Is Internal Medicine?
According to Wikipedia, internal medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. They are referred to as internists. Internists are especially skilled in the management of patients who have undifferentiated or multi-system disease processes.
Quoting the American College of Physicians, Internists “care for the whole patient”.
