“As care and technology become more complex, the need for the clinician to figure out what is the matter with the patient and what matters to the patient remains paramount. It is too easy to order another test or scan.
These can produce more noise than meaningful signals. Internal Medicine plays a key role in the education of medical students and junior residents to ensure they receive a sound foundation before they launch into areas of specialisation and sub-specialisation.”
