What is internal medicine?
Internal medicine is a branch of medicine that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of the internal organs. Physicians specializing in this field are known as internists. They are trained to manage both acute health problems and chronic conditions, and are capable of treating patients with multiple comorbidities and coordinating complex treatments. Internal medicine is distinguished by its holistic approach to the patient, taking into account all aspects of the patient’s health to formulate an optimal treatment plan.
Internists are responsible for coordinating patients’ medical care and have the ability to identify and manage complex medical conditions based on a thorough clinical evaluation and specialized diagnostic tests.

How does an internal medicine consultation work?
An internal medicine consultation begins with a detailed medical history, followed by a complete physical examination. The internist may order additional tests (blood tests, ultrasounds, CT scans, MRIs, functional tests such as spirometry, etc.), depending on the suspected condition, to confirm the diagnosis and assess the patient’s overall health.
The purpose of the consultation is to provide a clear treatment plan and to coordinate the patient’s care, either through direct treatment or by referring the patient to specialists.
