Internal medicine, also known as general medicine in Commonwealth nations, is a specialty for medical doctors focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases in adults. Internal refers to the "treatment of diseases of the internal organs". Practitioners of internal medicine are referred to as internists in North America and physicians in Britain and most Commonwealth nations. Internists possess specialized skills in managing patients with undifferentiated or multi-system disease processes. They provide care to both hospitalized (inpatient) and ambulatory (outpatient) patients, as their patients are frequently seriously ill or require extensive medical tests. Internists often have subspecialty interests in diseases affecting particular organs or organ systems, and often contribute significantly to teaching and research. The certification process and available subspecialties may vary across different countries. Internists are qualified doctors who have undergone postgraduate training in internal medicine, and should not be confused with "interns", a term commonly used for a doctor who has obtained a medical degree but does not yet have a license to practice medicine unsupervised. There is also sometimes confusion between internal medicine and family medicine, with people mistakenly considering them equivalent. Internal medicine is also recognized as a specialty within clinical pharmacy and veterinary medicine.
