What is Internal Medicine and what is an Internist?
Internal Medicine is a non-surgical branch of medicine concerned with the complete primary care of the adult. It deals with all the different fields of medicine: cardiology, pulmonology, and neurology, to name a few.
Internists are doctors trained in these different fields, preparing them to treat a wide variety of adult illnesses. With this wide background of intense training, internists are better informed on current treatments and preventative medicine for the healthy adult.
If you are interested in the best in routine health care and preventative medicine or need hospital coverage, an internist has the skills and training for you.
