"Internal medicine" in the USA, and "general medicine" in the UK, are increasingly assuming the form of basic medical knowledge with a view to subsequent specialization. In Switzerland, three types of practising internists or physicians (in the strict sense) can be described: the internist as general practitioner, the general internist with a main centre of interest, and the subspecialist. Continuing medical education must take these manifold aspects of the profession into account. For practising physicians, joint meetings of internists of the second and third types are desirable, on the lines of those for physicians in the major hospitals.
美国的“内科医学”和英国的“普通医学”越来越呈现出基础医学知识的形式，以便后续进行专科化。在瑞士，可以描述出三种类型的执业内科医生或严格意义上的医师：全科医生型内科医生、有主要兴趣中心的普通内科医生以及专科医生。继续医学教育必须考虑到该职业的这些多方面情况。对于执业医师而言，第二和第三种类型的内科医生联合会议是可取的，类似于大型医院内科医生的会议。
