What is Internal Medicine?
Internal Medicine is the branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis, management and non-surgical treatment of disease affecting the lungs, kidney, liver, pancreas, spleen, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, endocrine system and neuromuscular systems. Management of these conditions is typically done with diet, exercise and medications.
While many regular veterinarians offer medical services and sometimes even diagnosis and management of internal medical problems, a Board-Certified Internal Medicine Specialist is a veterinarian who has additional internship and residency training beyond veterinary school and has taken a set of examinations certifying them as a specialist within the field.
