Internal Medicine, General Medicine Conference-IPSC 2026

Obesity and metabolic conditions are core issues in internal medicine that lead to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and liver disease. Internists ensure holistic management through nutrition education, organized exercise therapy, and behavioral modification strategies.

Pharmacologic therapy, such as weight-loss drugs and metabolic modifiers, augments lifestyle treatment for people with severe obesity. Combination with endocrinologists and bariatricians maximizes outcomes for complicated cases.

Long-term follow-up, patient education, and support networks are the essence of long-term metabolic well-being. Individualized treatment strategies that minimize complications and enhance the quality of life in patients with metabolic issues are a priority for internal medicine physicians.
