Internal Medicine, General Medicine Conference-IPSC 2026

Infectious disease care continues to be a core area of internal medicine, particularly in the context of new pathogens and resistance to antimicrobials. Doctors are using rapid diagnostic tests, vaccination programs, and sophisticated treatment regimens to fight infections from everyday respiratory illness to world pandemics. Internal medicine is involved in prevention and timely intervention in preventing outbreaks and enhancing patient survival.

Antimicrobial stewardship is now an essential element of practice, with careful use of antibiotics to minimize the risk of resistance. Internal medicine practitioners are also incorporating global health policy, travel medicine, and outbreak readiness into care systems. Such measures not only improve outcomes for patients but also make the public more resilient to future threats.
