Internal Medicine Specialist

What is internal medicine?

Internal medicine is a medical specialty that focuses on the health and well-being of adults. Internal medicine physicians undergo years of education and training so they can diagnose and treat any health condition that affects adults. 

Internal medicine physicians are also experts in health promotion and disease prevention. They  manage general health and provide health screenings and education that might prevent or delay health problems. 

Internal medicine physicians also have the ability to diagnose and treat acute and chronic health conditions, ranging from a simple cold or a complex health problem like diabetes.
