Internal Medicine and Subspecialization

With internists facing new challenges involving advancing biomedical science and coordinated care delivery, many are choosing to combine their knowledge of general internal medicine with a subspecialty. In 2007, the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) issued over 13,000 initial certificates, with more than 7,300 of those in subspecialties.

ABIM president Christine Cassel, MD says it’s simple: the two make for a powerful combination, “More than any other area of medicine, internal medicine is characterized by unique and varied disciplines that represent the broad scope of knowledge related to maintaining health, diagnosing and treating disease in adults.”

Given this growing trend, internists need a variety of quality information resources more than ever. STAT!Ref fills this need by offering a strong collection of internal medicine resources and other disciplines for subspecialists in one site accessed easily online.
