Glossary
- Internal medicine (Medicina Interna)
- The hospital-based specialty that manages adults with complex, acute and chronic multi-system disease, including pluripathology, infection, thrombosis, autoimmune disease and diabetes. At the SEMI congress, internal medicine is the organising specialty rather than a single disease track.
- SEMI
- Sociedad Espanola de Medicina Interna, the Spanish national society for internal medicine. It convenes the annual national congress and publishes clinical guidance for hospital internists.
- FESEMI
- Fundacion Espanola de la Sociedad Espanola de Medicina Interna, the foundation linked to SEMI that supports research, training and congress activities. The official congress domain is fesemi.org.
- Hospitalist
- A physician who manages general medical inpatients and coordinates complex multimorbidity and transitions of care. In Spain the role overlaps closely with the internist's hospital ward work.
- Pluripathology
- The coexistence of several chronic conditions that interact and complicate diagnosis, treatment and discharge planning. It is a core theme in internal medicine sessions on comprehensive patient management.
- Multimorbidity
- The presence of two or more chronic conditions in the same patient. It differs from pluripathology in emphasis: multimorbidity counts conditions, while pluripathology stresses their clinical interaction.
- Polypharmacy
- Use of multiple medicines, often defined as five or more, with risks of interactions and adverse events. Congress content often links polypharmacy to medication reconciliation and deprescribing.
- MIR
- Medico Interno Residente, the Spanish specialised medical training system. Internal medicine residents attend the congress for scientific sessions, mentorship and presentation experience.
- Clinical session
- A structured case-based or evidence-based meeting in a hospital department. At the congress, clinical sessions and workshops translate ward problems into practical decision-making.
- Consensus document
- A guidance statement developed by a society or expert group where evidence is incomplete or practice varies. SEMI groups often present consensus documents on thromboembolism, infection, autoimmune disease and related topics.
- POCUS
- Point-of-care ultrasound performed at the bedside by the treating clinician to answer focused diagnostic questions. Internal medicine POCUS sessions typically cover lung, cardiac, vascular and abdominal protocols.
- Antimicrobial stewardship
- A coordinated programme to improve antibiotic prescribing, dose, route and duration. It is central to hospital internal medicine because internists manage many severe infections.
- Rare disease
- A condition with low prevalence, often requiring specialist centres and coordinated diagnosis. Internal medicine is frequently the entry point for adults with undiagnosed multi-system rare disease.
- CME
- Continuing medical education, the credits and activities that maintain specialist competence. Spanish national congresses usually seek CME accreditation; check the official programme for the credit statement.
- Abstract
- A structured summary of a study submitted for poster or oral presentation. Acceptance and presentation format are decided by the scientific committee after peer review.
