The general internist is a personal physician who provides long-term, comprehensive care managing both common and complex illness for adolescents, adults, and the elderly. An internist diagnoses and treats general medical disorders such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, emphysema, and cancer.
Internal medicine physicians are especially skilled in caring for patients dealing with multi-system diseases.
Internists are trained in the essentials of primary care internal medicine, which incorporates an understanding of disease prevention, wellness, substance abuse, mental health, and effective treatment of common problems of the eyes, ears, skin, nervous system, and reproductive organs. They do not provide medical care for children.
