ABSTRACT
Internal medicine is a medical specialty that is often poorly understood by the general public and sometimes misidentified. In an era of increasing subspecialization and high technicality, it is characterized by a comprehensive approach centered on clinical evaluation. Unlike what is observed in most developed countries, where systemic autoimmune diseases are managed by organ specialists based on their mode of presentation, French internists are at the forefront for diagnosing and managing these diseases. Their multidisciplinary training gives them legitimacy to justify this role. Internists also play a crucial role in the management of patients requiring unplanned hospitalizations downstream from emergency departments and in connection with primary care. Internists primarily practice in a hospital setting, with a specific position in the French healthcare system aligned with the training frameworks of all medical specialties. To better define internal medicine, its role in care activities, as well as in education and research, internists organized a General Assembly of internal medicine that took place on September 28, 2023, in Paris. Structured around think tanks focusing on care, education, and research activities, the general assembly aimed to improve visibility on internal medicine and internists. This article recounts the discussions that animated this meeting and highlights the main ideas that emerged. These general assemblies constitute a foundational step and will be followed by a Consultation Conference in order to better identify and promote internal medicine and internists, regardless of their types and places of practice.
