Specialty description

Internal medicine/pediatrics (usually referred to as Med-Peds) provides concurrent, dual training in both internal medicine and pediatrics. Physicians can care for patients spanning the spectrum from birth until death, dealing with a range of clinical scenarios from high-risks deliveries to adult and pediatric intensive care. Med-Peds physicians are uniquely qualified to care for adolescent patients, particularly children with complex and chronic conditions as they transition to adulthood. Training in Med-Peds allows eligibility for board certification and independent practice in both disciplines. Med-Peds programs are accredited by the ACGME and AOA as a combined program instead of separate accreditation in Internal Medicine and Pediatrics.
