Internal medicine or general internal medicine (in Commonwealth nations) is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of internal diseases. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called internists, or physicians (without a modifier) in Commonwealth nations. Internists are skilled in the management of patients who have undifferentiated or multi-system disease processes. Internists care for hospitalized and ambulatory patients and may play a major role in teaching and research. Internal medicine and family medicine are often confused as equivalent in the Commonwealth nations (see below).
General Medicine is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and nonsurgical treatment of diseases of the internal organs. Here you will find the causes, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment of a huge range of disorders affecting every part of the body. The journal covers up information regarding types of chronic illness and their diagnosis.
