Interna medicina

Interna medicina se bavi proučavanjem, lečenjem i sprečavanjem unutrašnjih bolesti (bolesti srca, krvi i krvnih sudova, organa za varenje, pluća i dr). Interna medicina je deo kliničke odnosno kurativne medicine koja proučava, prepoznaje i leči neoperativnim metodama i sprečava nastanak bolesti unutrašnjih organa (srce, pluća, bubrezi itd). Od interne medicine se odvajaju određene uže specijalnosti, kao što su: gastroenterologija, kardiologija, hematologija, endokrinologija, pulmologija, imunologija, reumatologija itd.
