What is "family medicine"?
Family medicine, also known as general practice or primary care, is a medical specialty focused on providing thorough healthcare to individuals of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. Family physicians, or general practitioners, are the first people patients go to when seeking medical care and are trained to address a wide range of health concerns, from short-term illnesses to ongoing conditions. They provide preventive care, perform routine check-ups, manage long-term conditions, and help patients connect with specialists when needed. Family medicine emphasizes ongoing care, building long-term relationships with patients and their families to promote overall health and well-being across the lifespan.
