Internal Medicine

Internal medicine is a medical specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Physicians who specialize in internal medicine, known as internists, are skilled in managing complex medical conditions and providing comprehensive care for adult patients. The scope of internal medicine encompasses a wide range of medical conditions across various organ systems, including but not limited to the cardiovascular system, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, endocrine system, and immune system.

Internal medicine offers several subspecialties that focus on specific organ systems or medical conditions. Examples include cardiology (heart diseases), gastroenterology (digestive disorders), pulmonology (respiratory diseases), endocrinology (hormonal disorders), and infectious diseases.
