	Internal medicine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Although internists may act as primary care physicians, they are not "family physicians," "family practitioners," or "general practitioners," whose training is not solely concentrated on adults and may include surgery, obstetrics and pediatrics.
		Internists can choose to focus their practice on general internal medicine, or may take additional training to "subspecialize" in one of 13 areas of internal medicine, generally organized by organ system.

	Internist-I - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		INTERNIST-I was a broad-based computer-assisted diagnostic tool developed in the early 1970s at the University of Pittsburgh as an educational experiment.
		For ten years, INTERNIST-I was the centerpiece of a Pittsburgh course entitled “The Logic of Problem-Solving in Clinical Diagnosis.” In consultation with faculty experts, much responsibility for data entry and updating of the system fell to the fourth-year medical students enrolled in the course.
		INTERNIST-I’s designers hoped that the system could one day become useful in remote environments—rural areas, outer space, and foreign military bases, for instance—where experts were in short supply or unavailable.

		In order to become a subspecialist, an internist must complete at least two years of additional training, which is referred to as a fellowship, in his or her chosen subspecialty before becoming eligible for subspecialty board certification.

		Discussed are the characteristics shared by all internists, whether engaged in general or subspecialty practice; current trends and the growing crisis in the supply of primary care physicians; and the practices and patient characteristics of both general internists and family physicians.
		The new definition reaffirms that the general internist is an expert in the general care of the adult, but it also revives the concept of the general internist as a local authority on a specific topic in which he or she has special expertise.
		The patients of general internists and family practitioners and the physicians' rates of resource use (adjusted for patient mix) are compared in Table 1.

	The Internist's Role in Treating Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
		Internists often have to know about and prescribe a great variety of medications to stabilize and improve the quality and quantity of life for an individual, without causing untoward side effects or drug interactions or toxicities.
		Thus it returns to the internist to treat the extremely common condition known as fibromyalgia (affecting some 2% of the population) and perhaps the complex devastating illness known as CFS.
		The internist should be open to first defining the array of symptoms presenting, next ruling out common and often easy-to-treat complaints as well as life-threatening ones or infectious diseases, then categorizing the worst symptoms from greatest pain/disability to least and "attacking" one at a time.

	GI...can you still be "an internist first"? - Student Doctor Network Forums (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In other words, the saying that a subspecialist is "an internist first" does not mean that they are primarily practicing general IM with a little bit of their subspecialty mixed in, but instead it means that they are practicing their subspecialty with an IM approach -- something that most subspecialists I know strive to do.
		My internist is an GI doc, and my interactions with him have been primarily as an internist- physicals, vaccinations etc. He is a young guy, and may just be building his practice with PCP visits, while he looks for GI pts.
		It's silly to imply that a GI who does scopes all day is not an internist first or doesn't approach his or her field from an internist's perspective.

		Is that because the internist needs divine direction, or because the patient may need to be helped into the next world?
		In spite of the fact that he is symbolically larger than the doctor, the patient certainly dares not question her medical judgment.
