Internal Medicine

Internal Medicine is a broad medical specialty that monitors, diagnosis and treats the most common diseases affecting adults and children. It was from this specialty that all others derived, hence its importance in integrating a broad set of symptoms and illnesses.

Besides the Internal Medicine consultation, Internal Medicine specialists are present in Emergency and Resuscitation Services, and in the Intensive Care Units, with doctors bridging the gap between outpatient clinics and hospitals in complex pathologies.

Within its specialty, cardiovascular diseases (such as high blood pressure or heart conditions) and respiratory diseases (such as pneumonia) stand out as some of the most commons. Also, endocrinological diseases (for instance, diabetes), autoimmune diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis or Lupus) and neurological diseases also fall within Internal Medicine.

Internists, Internal Medicine specialists, integrate and assess pathologies of various organs and systems, with varying degrees of severity and complexity. They assume a fundamental role in articulating and coordinating other specialties involved in patient care.
