1. What is a family physician?
A family physician is a doctor who takes care of your whole family. Family
physicians create caring relationships with patients and their families. They really
get to know their patients. They listen to them and help them make the right health
care decisions.

2. What do family physicians do?
Family physicians take care of the physical, mental, and emotional health of their
patients and their families. They know how your family's health history can affect
you. They are trained to care for you through all the stages of your life.
Family physicians are trained in all areas of medicine. They diagnose and treat the
full range of problems people bring to their doctors. They know when to treat you,
and when to bring in another specialist you can trust.

3. What kind of training do family physicians have?
Family physicians know the most current treatments and technologies. Only family
physicians train for 3 years in real practice settings, treating patients in the office,
the hospital, and at home. And they re-certify more than any other medical specialty.
Family physicians also continue to educate themselves. This allows them to apply
the latest medical breakthroughs to the everyday care of their patients.
