Difference between family medicine and internal medicine

Primary care providers manage your overall health needs. A good relationship with a primary care physician helps keep you healthier and lowers overall medical costs. A primary care provider can teach you ways to stay healthy, treat you when you are sick and help you get advanced care when you need it.

Different types of primary care providers offer varied services and areas of specialization. Your stage of life and medical needs help you determine which type is right for you.

Family medicine specialists

Family medicine providers treat a wide range of medical concerns for the whole family in a variety of areas, including obstetrics and gynecology and pediatrics.

Internal medicine providers

Internal medicine specialists, or internists, generally care for adults 18 years old and older, treating a broad scope of acute and chronic conditions.

How to choose a primary care provider

Choosing a primary care or internal medicine physician involves considering what is most comfortable for you and your family. Some of the questions to consider are:

  • How easy is it to reach my doctor or other medical staff?
  • Do the office hours work with my schedule?
  • Is the office in a convenient location?
  • Will the doctor refer me to specialists for more focused care?
  • Can I pay my bill online?
  • Can I schedule my visit online?

Importance of preventive medicine

Preventive medicine helps you maintain good health and is an important element of your primary healthcare. Having an annual physical exam can help diagnose and prevent health conditions from becoming more serious. Early detection of health conditions is critical to successful treatments.

Preventive treatment also involves emotional wellness. It is important to discuss any mental health concerns you may be experiencing such as depression or anxiety.
