Internal medicine. Internal medicine or general medicine (in Commonwealth nations) is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called internists, or physicians (without a modifier) in Commonwealth nations.
Whether you see an internist or another physician, make sure to get all your questions answered to better select a doctor that's right for you. Organ transplants Because internal medicine doctors specialize in solving medical riddles, they may be the first to suspect when a patient needs an organ transplant. If that turns out to be the case, the internal medicine doctor may even coordinate and oversee transplant recipient's care before, during and after surgery.
