Primary care is often considered a traditional role for many general internal medicine physicians. Primary care involves first-contact care for people with an undiagnosed symptom, sign, or health concern; care for individuals which is not organ- or problem- specific; longitudinal or continuous care; and responsibility for coordinating other health services related to a patient's care. Because internal medicine training is comprehensive and focused mostly on adults, general internal medicine physicians are particularly well equipped to provide preventive care and diagnose and manage disease in a primary care setting.
