Internal Medicine, General Medicine Conference-IPSC 2026

Rheumatology is one of the major subspecialties of internal medicine, treating autoimmune and inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and vasculitis. Internists detect and treat these intricate diseases through both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions.

Biologics and targeted immunotherapies have changed outcomes, decreasing inflammation and maintaining joint function. Lifestyle modifications, physical therapy, and patient education assist long-term disease management.

Internists work in close tandem with rheumatologists to track disease activity, modify therapies, and control comorbidities. This comprehensive care allows patients to retain functionality, independence, and quality of life.
