Medical internists are trained in internal medicine (also known as general medicine), which involves the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease. Internists are also sometimes referred to as primary care physicians, the medical professionals you first go to see when you have health problems or concerns.

They treat the wide variety of illnesses that can affect an adult, such as diabetes and hypertension, and can also provide wellness services to help prevent you from getting sick or injured. In addition to having general medical knowledge, some internists also choose to specialize in a more specific area of medicine as well.

Physicians who specialize in internal medicine treat adults, unlike pediatricians, who care for children, or physicians trained in family medicine, who care for children and adults.

Internists can also prescribe medication and write prescriptions for the purchase of medication in Mexican pharmacies, which in addition to the comparatively low cost of the medical care can also save patients money on prescription costs, especially for those who do not have insurance.
