Is oncology considered a branch of internal medicine?

Great question! Oncology is indeed a subspecialty of internal medicine, focusing on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer. Here's a useful resource to learn more: [Oncology - American College of Physicians](https://www.acponline.org/specialties/internal-medicine-subspecialties/oncology) #medicalinformation
That's correct! Oncologists often complete their internal medicine residency before pursuing a fellowship in medical oncology. This dual training allows them to provide comprehensive care for cancer patients. #cancerawareness #oncologyfacts
