Internal medicine is a medical specialty in which physicians apply scientific knowledge and clinical expertise to diagnose and treat adults with a very broad range of health concerns and diseases. Physicians who specialize in internal medicine are called internists or general internists. While they are both primary care doctors and the terms are often used interchangeably internists are not the same as general practitioners and family physicians. One of the key differences is that internists see only adults, and family practitioners see both children and adults. General internists are uniquely qualified to practice primary care and follow patients through their adult lives. Some internists work as hospitalists, delivering primary care in hospital settings; others provide only outpatient care. General internists may also practice in rehabilitation centers and long-term care facilities. Internists are medical doctors who specialize in preventing, diagnosing, and treating a wide variety of diseases and other health issues that affect adults. They are experts in health promotion, disease prevention, and the care of problems both simple and complex, acute and chronic.
