A Family Practice in General Pediatrics

Abstract

Sulu Wang*

Family medicine is a primary care medical speciality that provides ongoing and comprehensive health care to individuals and families of various ages, genders, diseases, and body parts. A family physician is a specialist who is usually a primary care physician. It's commonly referred to as general practice, and a general practitioner is a practitioner who specialises in general practise. Historically, every doctor who graduated from a medical school and worked in the community used to fill this job. Since the 1950s, however, family medicine / general practice has evolved into a distinct speciality with unique training requirements adapted to each country. The titles of the specialties reflect their holistic character and/or their familial heritage.
