Internist doctors are physicians who specialize in the diagnosis and medical treatment of adults. Internists are sometimes called medical internists, general internists, or adult specialists. They are considered to be primary care doctors because they often serve as the first line of defense against illness in adults.

An internist often works in hospitals caring for patients admitted for medical treatment. Internists may also work in outpatient clinics, providing primary care to adults.

It's generally recommended that adults see an internal medicine doctor (internist) at least once every two years for a checkup. However, there are some circumstances where you may need to see one more frequently.
