Internists have special education and training in the diagnosis and treatment of adult diseases. Internists help with the care of cancer, heart disease, infections, kidney disease, joints, digestive issues, vascular systems, respiratory issues, as well as primary care for mental health, substance abuse, and even illness relating to the skin and the nervous system. As you can see these specialists are well educated in several areas and have many subspecialities, such as:

• Hospitalists – are internists who manage patients who are in the hospital. They are dedicated to clinic management and are keen to quality and safety
• Adolescents – therapies focused on the physical, social, sexual, and psychological development of adolescents.
• Cardiovascular disease – specialty physicians treat patients with chronic and acute cardiovascular conditions like coronary heart disease, arrhythmia, congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction (heart attack) and may others.
• Endocrinology – specialty of the endocrine system and deal with hormonal regulation and normal physiology.

The training and education of a hospitalist is the same as a primary physician only your PCP treats patients within their practices and a hospitalist treats patients within a hospital setting. They may also have several subspecialities including work with pediatrics and geriatrics. They fill the gap between your care at your primary doctor’s office to the hospital and from the emergency room back to your primary physician. They work in unison with many specialists including your primary physician and will follow up with them after they treat you in the hospital.

A hospitalist has training in:

• Coordination of care between doctors and specialists
• Acute medical treatment
• Evaluation and ordering of diagnostic testing
• Transition of treatment between specialists
• Palliative care

A hospitalist might first order several typical tests that are run to get a better idea of the basic wellness of a patient. This includes:

• Complete blood count (CBC) – a test measuring WBC, RBCs, and platelets
• Basic metabolic panel – check on metabolism, measures kidney function, electrolytes, and glucose levels
• Lipid panel – monitors cardiovascular status by measuring cholesterol and triglycerides
• Urinalysis – can be used to test for a wide range of diseases
• Bacterial cultures – the growth of bacteria from various specimen samples to see if you are colonized with pathogenic bacteria or normal flora.
• They may also request imaging testing such as an EKG, MRI, or x-ray

The hospitalist is the practitioner who joins all areas of treatment together to focus a comprehensive plan for the patient to get back to health and wellness
