Internal Medicine, General Medicine Conference-IPSC 2026

Integration of internal medicine and primary care is critical to developing seamless, patient-focused healthcare systems. Internists bring specialized knowledge of chronic disease management, preventive care, and diagnostic evaluation to complement the generalist approach of family medicine. Integration enhances patient outcomes through continuity of care and timely specialist consultation.

Collaborative care models, multidisciplinary teams, and sharing electronic health records have further facilitated coordination with primary care and internal medicine. Internal medicine physicians create stronger relationships, improved adherence, and better long-term outcomes through close work with patients over time.
