Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): Cristina Mantovani

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

To make it clear I also posted 'general medicine' for "Commonwealth nations" and I was the first to post the definitions that now appear in this Discussion.

uma confusao moderna na mente publica? (Agree with Muriedl,) Look at Eng Internal medicine or****GENERAL MEDICINE (in Commonwealth nations)*** is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called ***internists, or physicians*** (without a modifier) in Commonwealth nations. Internists are skilled in the management of patients who have undifferentiated or multi-system disease processes. Internists care for hospitalized and ambulatory patients and may play a major role in teaching and research.

She has held a number of positions including professor of ***internal medicine*** at the Federal University of Sergipe.

British General Medicine ( or Internist, referring to Internal Organ SYSTEMS) The confusion however is that the term INTERN is a doctor in training and INTERNIST is NOT the same. Who will read it? Recent training in Sp, most translators may confuse INTERN Eng term with Internist.

Internal medicine is a field of practice focused on treating adults. Doctors prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases that afflict all adults, from chronically ill patients, to short-term care. Once a doctor completes an internal medicine residency, they are subsequently referred to as internist.

Internal medicine or general medicine (in Commonwealth nations) is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases.
Note from asker:
I agree. However, I've seen on a search that in the UK they use the term General medicine. I'm looking for British English translation. Sorry I didn't mention that.

INTERNIST

In the context of your sentence, I would translate "feito por alguém da MEDICINA INTERNA" as "done by an INTERNIST".
