What Are Doctors of Internal Medicine?

Doctors of internal medicine are also called internists. These physicians provide comprehensive care in the area of adult medicine. The name “internal medicine” is misleading for some, as these physicians do not limit their practice to the area of internal conditions or issues but rather treat patients as a whole, providing whole-patient treatment and diagnosis of conditions that affect any system or organ in the body.

Internists provide care for their patients throughout their lives, starting in their late teenage years. Many people confuse internists with family practitioners, but there are several important distinctions, including the three years of rigorous study focused solely on adult medicine that an internist must undergo. In addition, internists do not practice surgery, deliver babies, or provide care for children.
