"medicine" & "medical department" in the definition of 內科 seem ambiguous.

The explanation of "internal medicine" can be left to Wp etc -- the explanation given in our
definition seems misleading (over-simplified) anyway -- there is more to internal medicine than
that:

內科學的內容包含了疾病的定義、病因、致病機轉、流行病學、自然史、症狀、徵候、實驗診
斷、影像檢查、鑑別診斷、診斷、治療、預後。

內科學的方法是透過病史詢問或面談後,進行理學檢查,根據病史與檢查所見做實驗診斷與影像
檢查,以期在眾多鑑別診斷中排除可能性較低者,獲得最有可能的診斷;獲得診斷後,內科的治
療方法包含追蹤觀察、生活方式、藥物、介入性治療(如心導管、內視鏡)等,根據病人的狀況
調整藥物之使用,防止並處理副作用及併發症。
[Wp]

Added (branch of medicine) to distinguish from other senses of "surgery":
-- treatment performed by a surgeon
-- place where a doctor, dentist, or other medical practitioner treats or advises patients
