Frequently Asked Questions
What is general medicine, and what does a general medicine doctor do?
General medicine, often referred to as internal medicine, is a branch of medical practice that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of a wide range of adult health issues. General medicine doctors, also known as internists, are medical professionals who specialize in providing comprehensive and primary care to adults. They are skilled in managing various medical conditions and coordinating care for patients with complex health needs. General medicine encompasses a broad spectrum of medical knowledge and covers various organ systems and diseases.
What are the different types of specialties within general medicine?
No, general medicine and MBBS are not the same. MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) is an undergraduate medical degree program that medical students complete to become doctors. General medicine, on the other hand, is a medical specialty that doctors may choose to pursue after completing their MBBS degree. So, while general medicine is a field within medicine, MBBS is the initial educational path to become a medical doctor.
