According to the American Society of Internal Medicine, internists are the major providers of continuing, comprehensive health care to adults and adolescents in the United States. The internist has been described as a “medical detective” — known for physical examinations of the entire body, searching for clues to a correct and complete diagnosis. Internists generally treat adult patients with chronic — often multiple — illnesses requiring medications. They specialize in treating diseases such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, asthma/emphysema, kidney diseases, thyroid disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, strokes, and other neurological disorders.
