Internal Medicine - The CEO of Your Health

The American Board of Internal Medicine defines Internal Medicine as a medical specialty focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of internal diseases. Physicians in this field are adept at managing and caring for patients with complex, multi-system disease processes. Internists exclusively provide care for adults and often play a significant role in research and the education of other physicians.

Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, and General Practitioner physicians can all be categorized as Primary Care Physicians. However, only Internal Medicine Physicians have the specialized training to handle seriously ill patients or complex diagnostic challenges. 

Internal Medicine is the foundational specialty for all sub-specialties related to internal organs. This includes Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Endocrinology, Hematology, Infectious Disease, Nephrology, Oncology, Pulmonary, and Rheumatology. This is why an internal medicine physician is your best choice for primary care.

Board certification is a voluntary process that allows a physician to showcase their expertise in a specific medical specialty or subspecialty. Board certification is only granted after a physician passes comprehensive exams. It represents the pinnacle of accreditation, ensuring patients that the physician has met rigorous standards and possesses the knowledge and skills to deliver optimal care.
