This specialty, also called family practice, provides ongoing, comprehensive healthcare for individuals and families from childhood through the golden years. Family medicine is a unique medical specialty because it addresses the widest variety of health situations. Family practitioners perform routine physicals to verify that you are in good health, diagnose and treat you when you have the flu or a muscle sprain, and provide you with treatment options that help you manage chronic conditions like diabetes.
Family practitioners are usually your first point of contact with the medical system. They provide referrals to other specialties when necessary, but most diagnosis and treatment begins with your family practitioner. As a result, your family practitioner gets to know you, your overall health status, your lifestyle, and your family members fairly well.
Of all the healthcare practitioners you come in contact with, your family practitioner is the one who has the best overview of your health and is thus in the best position to identify lifestyle changes you should make to prevent disease and disability. |
