This speciality plays an important role in providing direct and continuous care of a person and their family. These physicians take care of all types of conditions and believe they all need attention. Family medicine physicians are trained to address the most pressing and most common medical needs of patients without being limited by age or gender. They also practice a range of medical subjects and specialties, rather than the depth of a specific medical field. The focus of a family physician is the patient as a whole.
