Internal medicine is the medical specialty dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of adult diseases. Physicians specializing in internal medicine are called internists. They manage and prevent common and complex diseases by providing comprehensive care and promoting overall well-being.

Hospital medicine is a medical specialty that exists in some countries as a branch of internal or family medicine, dealing with the care of acutely ill hospitalized patients. Physicians whose primary professional focus is caring for hospitalized patients only while they are in the hospital are called hospitalists.

Throughout his line of work, Dr. Khetan has been the recipient of several awards and honors, including On-Time Doctor Award (2014), Compassionate Doctor Recognition (2014, 2013), and Patients’ Choice Award (2014, 2013).
