Internal Medicine - Doctors and Specialists
Internal medicine is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and medical (non surgical) treatment of diseases that affect internal organs in adults. In North America, a specialist in internal medicine is usually called an internist. Elsewhere, they may also be called physicians.
Thanks to the increase in the medical knowledge, more specific treatments became available and subspecialties in specific organ systems were defined and, subsequently, internal medicine became internationally recognized as a specialty.
Although "internal medicine" may suggest the treatment for the problems of "internal" organs only, internists around the world and at International Doctor, are actually trained to treat patients as whole people, not mere organ systems.
While an internist is trained for diagnosis and treatment of all pathologies of the various internal organs, our internists at International Doctor often also specialize in a particular sub-branch of the discipline, such as cardiology or gastroenterology.
