Internists are physicians specializing in internal medicine, a discipline focused on the care of adults, emphasizing use of the best medical science available, in caring for patients in the context of thoughtful, meaningful, doctor-patient relationships, as exemplified by the life and work of Sir William Osler, the “father” of internal medicine, in the United States.

Although internists may act as primary care physicians, they are not “general practitioners,” or “family physicians,” whose training is not solely on concentrated on adults.

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.
