Altogether there are more than 100 physicians working in the Department of Medicine at Mayo Clinic in Florida. These physicians work to manage all aspects of an adult patient's general health care. They also provide referrals to Mayo specialists, according to each patient's needs. Mayo's internal medicine practices includes:
- Care for patients with undefined symptoms and complaints (shortness of breath, chest pain, abdominal pain, back pain, etc.) who need help in diagnosing their illness
- Coordination of care from surgeons and other specialized care providers at Mayo Clinic
- Preventive medicine screening care (mammograms, Pap smears, routine colon cancer screening evaluations, cholesterol screening, blood pressure screening, etc.)
- Collaborative care of patients with chronic medical illnesses (high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, emphysema, etc.) throughout the various stages of their illness
- Comprehensive management of medical needs for hospitalized patients
The general internist at Mayo Clinic acts not only as a diagnostician but also a consultant in disease prevention and health promotion. Internists are trained to care for patients with multi-system diseases.
