Internists, not to be confused with “interns,” are also commonly referred to as “general internists,” “doctors of internal medicine” and "adult primary care doctors." In addition to focusing on general internal medicine, internists can sub-specialize in one of 13 areas, including cardiology, endocrinology, geriatrics, and oncology. Because of their specialty training and ability to diagnose and treat a large variety of illnesses, internists are highly desirable as primary care doctors.
Often consulted by other doctors, internists are adept at diagnosing patients and are often able to manage multiple illnesses at once. Internists generally have a strong understanding of overall wellness, prevention, substance abuse, women’s health, and mental health.
