What is Family Medicine?

Family Medicine is a specialty. Family doctors study in six broad areas of medicine — pediatrics, surgery, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, and community medicine — to learn how to give each patient continuing and comprehensive health care regardless of age or sex.

To be certified, a physician must pass an intensive examination given by the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) and complete a three-year residency program. An ABFM diplomate must be re-certified every seven years.
