What is an Internist?

A doctor of internal medicine, or internist, are physicians specifically dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions that affect adults. They are considered to be the best equipped to handle a wide spectrum of illnesses that are not limited to one organ system or type of medical problem, and are experts in diagnosing, treating and preventing chronic illnesses and diseases. They are particularly well-equipped to handle difficult diagnoses where several conditions and illnesses may be present at the same time.

Conditions Treated by Internists

This is a partial list of the conditions that Internists commonly diagnose, treat and help prevent:

• General medical conditions—especially those that impact several different organ systems
• Chronic disease care such as diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure
• Acute illnesses such as flu and infections
• Hormonal disorders
• Blood and bone marrow disorders
• Heart and vascular diseases
• Infectious diseases
• Lung diseases such as COPD
• Kidney and urinary problems
• Mental health issues
• Rheumatological conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis

Internal Medicine Medical Training

Internists dedicate at least three years out of the seven or more years of medical school and postgrad training dedicated specifically to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions that affect adults. Some internists go on to receive additional medical training in internal medicine subspecialties such as cardiology, nephrology (kidney), pulmonary (lung), oncology (cancer), rheumatology (musculoskeletal), gastroenterology (digestive system) and more.

Internal Medicine Specialists at Primary Care Physicians of Florida

The internists at Primary Care Physicians of Florida focus on building personal, long-term relationships with their patients, focusing on the well-being for each of them. Our internal medicine specialists care for our patients for life. Usually we see patients in our offices or clinics, and sometimes in hospitals and nursing homes. When other medical specialists, such as surgeons or obstetricians, are involved, we coordinate their care for our patients and manage difficult medical problems associated with that care. In fact, we so often serve as medical consultants to physicians in other specialties that we’ve earned the nickname, “the doctor’s doctor.”
