Family medicine is the medical specialty which provides continuing, comprehensive healthcare for the individual and family. In the increasingly fragmented world of healthcare where many medical specialties limit their practice to a particular organ, disease, age or sex, family physicians are dedicated to treating the whole person across the full spectrum of ages. Family medicine’s cornerstone is an ongoing, personal patient-physician relationship focused on integrated care.
