All of us would have a vivid memory of a man / woman holding a briefcase visiting the house whenever grandparents were sick or on a holiday, the entire family would be called for a check-up. The person holding the briefcase is a Family Medicine practitioner, or a Family Physician as more commonly referred to. Family Medicine (which was formerly known as Family Practice) is a specialty within medical and healthcare tree that concerns with the comprehensive healthcare for people across age groups and genders. Usually, Family Medicine Doctors for Chronic & Acute Illness are appointed to regularly examine the entire family and give substantial guidance on preventive healthcare methodologies. These practitioners are also called general practitioners, as the name itself captures the holistic nature of this domain. Family Medicine specialists are often trained in primary care of the patients and unlike any single-organ-specialists they give a complete, comprehensive overview of their patient’s health and / or conditions and are trained in all parts of the body. Their scope of knowledge under Family Internal Medicine & Comprehensive Care encompasses community, health promotion, disease prevention, disease awareness, basic education and information about preemptive healthcare measures.
While Family Medicine Doctors for Chronic & Acute Illnesses are trained to detect and to some extend diagnose a variety of diseases / abnormalities / conditions, essentially a family physician offers a mélange of preventive, acute, and chronic healthcare / medical services. Along with diagnosing and curing illnesses, they also perform preemptive healthcare, routine patient check-ups (involving full body screenings), immunization tests, health-risk assessments, screening examinations, and in-person counselling on the importance and mechanics of a healthy lifestyle. A family physician may also perform a range of tests to for any specific disease detection / cure, and may also further recommend single-organ-specialists for a better and advanced diagnostic process.
