Family Physicians Family physicians must complete 3 years of residency after medical school. Family medicine residents train in pediatrics and several other areas such as internal medicine, orthopedics, and obstetrics and gynecology. They usually spend several months training in each area. Afterwards, they are eligible to take the certifying examination of the American Board of Family Medicine. They are also required to earn continuing medical education credits and take periodic recertification examinations.

Because they train in many areas, family physicians are qualified to care for patients of all ages. This means your child would be able to see the same doctor from birth through adulthood. It also means that all members of your family can receive their primary care from him or her. A family physician will know the medical histories of all family members and may also be more aware of the emotional and social issues within your family that can affect your child's health. When seeking a family physician, be sure to ask about age policies - some family physicians see only a few children or don't see children younger than a certain age   Ask your doctor about our new products!
