Re: Internal Medicine Clinics
I worked for a large internal medicine practice for >3yrs.
It's a doctor's office staffed by primary physicians certified in Internal medicine as opposed to being GP, family practice etc. Generally all patients 18 & up, yearly physicals, HTN, paps, diabetes, preventive care, etc
Like any other doctors offices, it depends on the practice. My RNs did a lot of phone triage, immunizations, patient teaching, occasional IV for hydration as needed.
The LPN & MAs did glucose & INR testing, nebulizer treatments, rooming of patients, etc
Depending on the setting it may provide a nice opportunity for lots of patient contact & teaching opportunities
