What is a doctor of internal medicine? Internists focus on adult
medicine. They care for their patients for life -- from their teen years
through old age. Internists have undergone special study and training that
focuses on adult diseases and the prevention of them. At least three of
their seven or more years of medical school and postgraduate training are
dedicated to learning how to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases
primarily affecting adults.
Why choose an internist for your health care? Internists, just like general practitioner or family practitioner
doctors, can be your primary care doctor.

Internists can choose to focus
their practice on one area of internal medicine or take additional
training to "subspecialize" in additional areas of internal
medicine.
