Proficiency in diagnostic procedures such as interpreting lab tests, imaging studies, and ECGs
Ability to manage complex medical cases and coordinate care with other specialists
Strong communication and interpersonal skills to build rapport with patients and their families
Up-to-date knowledge of evidence-based medicine and treatment guidelines
Training and Education
Internists typically complete a three-year residency program in internal medicine after graduating from medical school. The residency provides hands-on training in various subspecialties within internal medicine, including cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, and others.
Continuing Education and Board Certification
After completing residency, internists may choose to pursue further specialization through fellowships in areas such as cardiology, gastroenterology, or infectious diseases. Board certification in internal medicine is obtained through examinations administered by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM).
Energy - A. Energy is involved in all physical and chemical processes. It is conserved, and can be transformed from one form to another and into work. At the atomic and nuclear levels energy is not continuous but exists in discrete amounts. Energy and mass are related through Einstein's equation E=mc 2 . B. The properties of atomic nuclei are responsible for energy-related phenomena such as radioactivity, fission and fusion. C. Changes in entropy and energy that accompany chemical reactions influence reaction paths. Chemical reactions result in the release or absorption of energy. D. The theory of electromagnetism explains that electricity and magnetism are closely related. Electric charges are the source of electric fields. Moving charges generate magnetic fields. E. Waves are the propagation of a disturbance. They transport energy and momentum but do not transport matter.
