Types of ResourcesWhat Is Family Medicine?
Family medicine focuses on the whole family—from babies to patients in their 90s—providing care through all life's stages. Family medicine specialists focus on developing long-term patient relationships with involvement in health care through all phases of life, and an understanding each patient’s overall health history. Family medicine can be a great choice for parents needing to schedule multiple family appointments for the same day. They often have a focus on general wellness and prevention of disease.
Family Medicine residency focuses on giving physicians a complete look at all the different kinds of patient needs, as well as training to better understand the needs of children and women, including pregnancy, labor, and delivery.
