Internal medicine covers a broader amount of conditions including but not exclusive to infectious diseases. Infectious disease physicians are more specialized and deal only with infection and infectious processes.While you are in med school and in your residency you will find out about the different fields doctors can work in. As a resident you will get to actually care for the various types of patients you would see in the specialty areas. That's how you will really be able to make the decision what you want to do. Good luck with your Career..
