This video provides a brief high-level overview of what Internal Medicine Specialists actually do, their training, and their role in Canadian health care.

a slightly less generalist than a family medicine, but more generalist than a subspecialist, generally involved with everything

They are also doctors
Dr Gregory House may be the most infamous fictional internist, but he is certainly lacking in both ethics and bedside manner - traits our highly trained Canadian physicians happen to have in spades.
+Jacqueline Lane Lane I think he was actually a Nephrologist :) but I do happen to agree with u on the ethics part
+DinisMagnifico
He hold titles in both nephrology and infectious diseases
Grateful you start with internal medicine residency and do a fellowship in e.g. Nephrology, infectious diseases, cardiology, etc
House was doing internists' job at the end of the day.
@@DinisMagnifico to
so internists wil be forever in demand because of the aging population
So its like general physician
Nope, internal medicine in an specialty itself. let me put it this way, a genral physician would treat your diabetes, hypertension, flu.. an internists would take care of a patient with chronic kidney deases, congestive heart failure, diabetes, anemia...
I mean you are both correct in your own way. An internist is the best example of a specialist-generalist of adult non surgical medicine, but they are generalists at the end of the day. A family physician is also a generalist but broader in the sense that they encounter paediatrics and OB-GYN. However, the main distinction is that the depth of knowledge of adult, non surgical medicine is way different in IM and FM, where the former knows it in way more detail, and in complexity, whereas the latter knows it more superficially. Saying that Internists do not treat hypertension, but treat CKD doesn't really paint it accurately.
- Humbly, an internal medicine resident.
@@anjulmoon3377 how do you like it? I am thinking about choosing Internal Medicine in the future after I get into and graduate Medical School and do a Pulmonologist fellowship.
A little but not rlly, it has subspecialties but it is more specialized then, for example, family medicine
I thought the doctor's doctor is pathology
when every other doctor & medicine fails, yes :D
Just a different job. They are responsible for diagnosis on biopsies, surgical specimens. They perform autopsies too. There are a lot of research opportunities. It's a good job if you are not really interested about dealing with people but your diagnosis will be extremely important for prognosis and therapies.
