Sometimes family medicine and internal medicine are confused, often these two areas are practiced by the same doctors, to keep it simple it might be better to think of a family medicine doctor as a general practitioner or GP.

When treating patients, the treatment both doctors will recommend will start with a consultation.

Internists will leverage the advanced medical imaging, including 3d scanning, x rays and other diagnosis equipment requiring expertise to focus on delivering a comprehensive diagnosis, management and treatment plan for the patient.

Internal medicine doctors lean towards evaluation tools such as laboratory testing and imaging technology to diagnose and treat serious and complex diseases, whilst also being cognizant of the negative externalities one medical condition can have on other organ systems in the human body.

A doctor who chooses to become internal medicine specialist is known as an internist.

The most common conditions that an internal medicine specialist working in our hospital in Dubai includes renal diseases, asthma and respiratory issues, gastro-intestinal conditions and pancreatic diseases.

Internists also advise patients on the prevention of medical issues which have not necessarily been diagnosed yet, experience and the way in which they have been trained can help them to advise patients to make the changes necessary to avoid bigger issues down the line or in children before they are adult.
