  Master of Internal Medicine (MIntMed)
  Programme Overview
 
  Doctors of internal medicine are medical specialists who have had special study and training focussed on the prevention and treatment of adult diseases. The name "internal medicine" in itself is misleading, as Doctors of internal medicine treat patients as a whole, internally and externally and not just internal organs. Doctors of internal medicine are also consulted by other physicians on particularly puzzling diagnoses.

However, Doctors of internal medicine can also choose to subspecialise in one of a number of internal medicine specialities, generally organised by organ system – for example Cardiology.
