Family Medicine:
A family doctor is a doctor who takes care of the whole family. Family doctors create caring relationships with patients and their families. They listen to them and help them make the right health care decisions.
Family Medicine Training:
In the past many physicians were known as "GP's". They finished one year of internship after completing medical school. Today things have changed as the scope of medicine and medical technology have changed. Board Certified Family Physicians train for three additional years at an ACGME accredited hospital with a University affiliation. They rotate through real practice settings, treating patients in the office, the hospital, community clinics, nursing homes, urgent cares, and at home.
Board Certified Family Physicians re-certify with the American Board of Family Medicine more than any other medical specialty. This allows them to apply the latest in medical breakthroughs to the everyday care of their patients.
