General Medicine

General medicine is the medical speciality dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of internal diseases. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called physicians. Physicians are skilled in the management of patients who have undifferentiated or multi-system disease processes. Physicians care for hospitalized and ambulatory patients and may play a major role in teaching and research. Because general medicine patients are often seriously ill or require complex investigations, physicians do much of their work in hospitals. Physicians often have subspeciality interests in diseases affecting particular organs or organ systems.
