Family Medicine

Family practice is the medical specialty that provides continuing and comprehensive health care for individuals and families. Family Medicine physicians are trained not only in biological and clinical medicine, but also in psychology and behavior, so that they can care for patients' physical and mental well-being. Additionally, they complete two to three more years of training after medical school during which they gain experience in a wide range of specialties, including prenatal care, emergency medicine, intensive care, and internal medicine specialties such as cardiology and neurology.
