Internal Medicine is the gatekeeper of the medical profession.
A good internist must have extensive knowledge in all disciplines, and must keep abreast of all new developments across the board. He (or she) is the only one who can integrate all symptoms and observations into an overall picture, and provide a bird's eye-view of the patient's clinical condition. Thus he (or she) is the leader and pathfinder of the entire diagnostic and therapeutic process. While utilizing the highly advanced technologies and services provided by specialists, the internist remains the personal physician who really knows the patient and cares for him/her on an ongoing basis.

This new approach, represented at the division by an experienced senior staff, accompanied by a strong emphasis on the development of future professional forces. Already, the division's high academic standards and intellectual challenges are attracting many of Israel's most outstanding interns and young practitioners. Offered a nurturing atmosphere and wealth of professional opportunities, these up-and-coming physicians ensure a promising future for Israel's Internal Medicine in general.
