Internal Medicine

The general internist is a personal physician who provides long-term, comprehensive care in the office and the hospital, managing both common illnesses and complex problems for adolescents, adults, and the elderly. General internists are trained in the essentials of primary care internal medicine which incorporates an understanding of disease prevention, wellness, substance abuse, mental health and effective treatment of common problems of the eyes, ears, skin, nervous system and reproductive organs. All internists are trained in the subspecialty areas of internal medicine including emergency internal medicine and critical care. Care by an internist is characterized by extensive knowledge and skill in diagnosis and treatment, by the humanistic qualities of integrity, support, sensitivity and compassion, and by personal commitment to patients. Internists consult with surgeons when surgical management is indicated. Well-trained internists are unique in their ability to deliver care with great professional expertise and often act as consultants to other specialists.
