What Is Medical?
Medical is the science or practice of treating human diseases and injuries with medicines, devices, and other methods. It is a professional area, with strict rules about training and licensing. Medicine is a broad field, with many specialties. Each speciality has its own body or college, and its own entrance exam. Some of the most important specialties include internal medicine, gynecology, gastroenterology, pathology, pharmacology, radiology, and toxicology.
Traditionally, the practice of medicine has been considered both an art and a science. The arts of medicine have included knowledge and skills such as the ability to stitch or use herbs, as well as the beliefs, spirituality, and rituals of the practitioners’ culture. The sciences of medicine have included such areas as anatomy (study of the structure of the human body), chemistry, and physics.
Medicine as a profession has evolved since prehistoric times, with the ancients practicing both an art and science. In modern times, the majority of medical practice is based on science. In addition, there is a growing emphasis on patient experience and satisfaction, which has contributed to the development of new disciplines such as healthcare management and healthcare marketing.
Physicians who specialize in internal medicine are called internists. There are many subspecialties of internal medicine, including endocrinology (the study of hormones and their effects), gastroenterology (study of the digestive tract), hematology (study of blood and its components), oncology (study of cancer), rheumatology (study of the joints), and pulmonology (study of the lungs).
Pediatrics is devoted to the medical care of children. There are also numerous subspecialties of pediatrics, including child health and wellness, adolescent medicine, neonatology, and nephrology.
Other clinical and non-clinical branches of medicine include cytology (study of cells), embryology, endocrinology, epidemiology, genetics, histology, and immunology. Some of these branches may also be considered part of forensic medicine.
The practice of medicine is regulated by laws and regulations in most countries to ensure that physicians are properly trained and qualified. Typically, this includes a medical degree from a university, followed by a period of supervised work known as residency or internship, and passing an examination.
Many medical journals have specialized “departments” that seek articles that meet specific requirements or formats, or focus on particular subjects. It is important to understand these when submitting an article to a journal, and to select the correct department for your topic. The correct choice of department can make or break the chances of your manuscript being published.
