What
Is Family Medicine?
Family medicine is the medical specialty which provides
continuing and comprehensive health care for the individual and the
family.
Although family doctors have cared for the family for a long time, it
was first made a specialty in 1969. Family Practitioners have studied
pediatrics, surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology,
psychiatry and community medicine. Family doctors are also trained in
preventive medicine-not just getting you well, but also keeping you
healthy.
Family physicians possess unique attitudes, skills, and knowledge
which qualify them to provide continuing and comprehensive medical care,
health maintenance and preventive services to each member of the family
regardless of sex, age or type of problem, be it biological, behavioral,
or social. These specialists, because of their background and
interactions with the family, are best qualified to serve as each
patient's advocate in all health-related matters, including the
appropriate use of consultants, health services, and community
resources. - American Academy of Family Physicians.
