Family Medicine Q & A
What is family medicine?
A family medicine physician is an expert in comprehensive, whole-body care. While a specialist focuses on one area, like the heart or nervous system, a family physician can diagnose and treat a variety of conditions anywhere in the body.
Family physicians have extensive training to prepare them for practicing family medicine and often complete residency programs in disciplines that include:
- Internal medicine
- Pediatrics
- Geriatrics
- Psychiatry and neurology
- Obstetrics and gynecology
- Emergency medicine
Your family physician follows your life cycle and provides continuous care as you grow older and your health care needs change. If you need specialized care, additional testing, or surgery, the doctor helps you find the right specialist.
