Internal Medicine
Internal medicine is a branch of medical science that focuses on the treatment and prevention of acute and chronic diseases in adults. It emphasizes on promoting optimal health, preventing disease, and managing common secondary conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity. Its practitioners, called internists, offer primary and/or specialist care, depending on the patient’s needs. They are experts in diagnosing and treating conditions ranging from common colds to complicated, life-threatening illnesses. By working closely with their patients and other healthcare professionals, internists can help ensure the best possible outcomes for their patients.
