Primary Care
What is the difference between an internist and a family physician?
Although the majority of their patients are adults, family physicians see both children and adults, and their training is aimed at providing care for both children and adults. Internists, on the other hand, see only adults, so their training is aimed solely at providing more comprehensive care for conditions that are only seen in adults. Internists are also able to work in outpatient and inpatient settings, meaning that they are able to co-manage cases were their patient requires specialty care and possible hospitalization. Finally, a notable difference between the two is that internists regularly apply scientific knowledge and clinical expertise when diagnosing and treating their patients. However, they do so while maintaining the same compassionate care as general or family physicians.
The training between internists and general, or family, physicians is also different. In addition to a Bachelor’s degree and four years of medical school, general internists also undergo three years of residency specializing in adult conditions. Physicians undergo three years of residency as well, however this has a broader focus and includes surgery, obstetrics, and pediatrics.
Why do I need a primary care physician? You may have wondered why you would need a Primary Care physician, especially when you’re not sick. Here are three reasons why:
- You need a health care professional who can act as your first point of contact. Our healthcare system is set up in such a way that some health plans require you to visit your Primary Care physician before you can see a specialist. On top of that, some specialists are “referred-only” providers who require a referral by your Primary Care physician for you to be seen. Such physicians may be seeking to specialize or sub-specialize and therefore, desire to limit the types of cases they take on.
- Your Primary Care physician can provide you with health care screenings. There is a lot of value in preventive medicine and catching things early before they develop into larger problems down the road. As a general rule, the older we age, the more screenings we should have. We offers cholesterol checks, blood pressure checks, bone density scans, cancer screenings, and much more.
- You need a consistent point of contact, someone who knows you, knows your body, so that when you do have a problem, this doctor is more apt to get you in sooner, be more familiar with you because you have an established relationship with him/ her, and s/ he would know some or all of the other crucial elements in evaluating your issue—your social and family history, your lifestyle, your likes and dislikes, you. Familiarity is important.
Should I see an internist?
If you are an adult in need of medical treatment or routine medical care, then you should see an internist. Internists are specially trained to treat adult conditions and can help you get the care you need. If you are attempting to manage multiple health conditions or short term issues that can affect chronic conditions, then internists are especially beneficial.
Can an internal medicine doctor be used for primary care?
If you are over the age of 18, general internists can be used as your primary care doctor. Their specialized training makes them ideal to act as your primary care doctor, however they do not treat children or provide obstetric services. Furthermore, only General Internists can provide primary care services, not internists who have declared a specialty.
What services do internal medicine doctors provide?
Internal medicine doctors can provide a variety of services to their patients including primary care services such as physicals and immunizations, all the way to specialized services. Internal medicine has eleven different specialties that internists are trained to provide treatment in. These specialities include: pulmonology, endocrinology, cardiology, gastroenterology, hepatology, hematology/oncology, nephrology, rheumatology, allergy/immunology, infectious diseases, and geriatrics.
