Internal medicine is a combination of clinical diagnostics on a broad range of complex and common conditions, with a personalised and compassionate approach to medicine. A doctor of internal medicine – called internists – specialises in managing diseases of internal organs such as the heart, kidneys, liver and lungs, while also serving as a primary care physician for adult patients. The subspecialties within internal medicine include cardiology, gastroenterology, pulmonary orcritical care, infectious disease, haematology or oncology and nephrology. Subsequently, internal medicine is often considered to be the gateway to a wide range of subspecialities. If you relish being a significant contributor to medical research, internal medicine may be a good fit for you too.
