What Is An “Internist”?
You may see these physicians referred to by several terms, including “internists” or “doctors of internal medicine.” This specialty requires four years of medical school plus at least three years of residency training dedicated to learning how to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases that affect adults. But don’t mistake them with “interns,” who are doctors in their first year of residency training. Internists are sometimes referred to as the “doctor’s doctor,” because they are often called upon to act as consultants to other physicians to help solve puzzling diagnostic problems.
