The general internist should be bale to evaluate and manage such common disorders as pharyngitis, otitis, and sinusitis and recognize more complicated conditions that require subspecialty consultation. He or she should play a key role in screening for the prevention of aerodigestive tract malignancies, which occur particularly often in patients who smoke. The general internist should also be competent in evaluating such specific symptoms as hoarseness, hearing loss, and facial pain.
