About Internal Medicine
Internal medicine is the medical specialty devoted to the care of adults. Internists are trained across the full breadth of adult disease, from the heart and lungs to the endocrine system, the digestive system, the musculoskeletal system, and mental health. The work is generalist by design: the internist cares for the whole patient, follows problems over time, and is often the physician a patient sees for both ordinary and unusual concerns. Internal medicine is distinct from family medicine, which also cares for children, and from urgent care, which is designed for episodic visits.
About Hospital Medicine
Hospital medicine, sometimes called hospitalist medicine, is internal medicine practiced in the hospital. A hospitalist is the physician who cares for adult patients during a hospital admission, coordinating care across consulting specialists, ordering and interpreting the necessary testing, and managing day-to-day medical decisions until discharge. Hospitalists train in internal medicine and develop additional clinical experience caring for patients who are sick enough to require hospitalization. That experience informs office-based work as well: the skills used to evaluate a complex inpatient problem are directly applicable when an outpatient case proves more complex than it first appears.
