What is a family physician?


A family physician or family practice physician is a medical professional specializing in one or more of the main areas of primary care. These include comprehensive adult and children's medical, preventive, and obstetric care. Because of their training, family physicians are specially qualified to act as primary care providers. 


Family physicians offer comprehensive medical care to every family member from infancy to adulthood. The foundation of family medicine is a continuous, intimate doctor-patient relationship centered on integrated care.


Your family doctor diagnoses and treats acute and chronic illnesses, offers regular health examinations, and advises on lifestyle changes to prevent diseases before they start.


What kind of education and training do family physicians receive?


Family medicine doctors pursue their education at accredited schools of medicine or osteopathic medicine after obtaining an undergraduate degree. To become licensed and certified, they need to fulfill several requirements. It includes completing approximately four years of medical school and passing board exams such as the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) or the Comprehensive Osteopathic Medical Licensing Examination of the United States.


Additionally, family medicine doctors must undertake a three to four-year residency program. During this period, they gain practical experience through rotations in various specialties, including pediatrics, general surgery, obstetrics, emergency medicine, and inpatient hospital care. This diverse training equips them with a broad understanding of primary care.


To obtain certification, family medicine doctors can seek recognition from the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM) or the American Osteopathic Board of Family Physicians (AOBFP). Finally, they must complete the licensing process specific to the state where they plan to practice.


Subspecialties within family medicine


All family doctors undergo years of education and training. Moreover, a family doctor may specialize in one of the following areas of medicine:


  • Hospice and palliative medicine: This specialization treats people with life-threatening illnesses. Professionals collaborate with palliative or hospice care teams to meet the patients' and their families' social, physical, spiritual, and psychological needs and improve their quality of life.
  • Pain medicine: Pain medicine specialists treat patients experiencing chronic, acute, or cancer-related pain in outpatient and hospital settings. These professionals collaborate with other specialists to provide the best possible treatment.
  • Adolescent medicine: It is a multidisciplinary healthcare specialty focusing on adolescents' social, physical, and psychological aspects. It also deals with their ailments and healthcare requirements.
  • Geriatric medicine: Geriatric medicine is concerned with caring for older people. It focuses on the skills older persons require to prevent, diagnose, manage, recover from, and treat medical issues. These professionals can provide care for older adults at their homes, in offices, hospitals, and nursing homes. 
  • Sleep medicine: Sleep medicine diagnoses and manages sleep-related clinical disorders that impact sleep quality or disrupt the normal wake-sleep cycle. Specialists can interpret and analyze comprehensive polysomnography and operate a sleep laboratory efficiently.
  • Sports medicine: As the term suggests, sports medicine focuses on sports and exercise-related injuries or conditions. It also addresses disorders and illnesses that impact athletes' physical performance. 
  • Healthcare administration: A physician with in-depth knowledge of healthcare administration concentrates on organizational performance, patient satisfaction, process improvement, and patient safety. They collaborate with stakeholders to develop a robust and patient-centered healthcare system.


Wisely choosing a family physician near you can make your treatment process faster and better. 


Role of a family physician in Covid-19


Your family medicine physician knows your personal and your family's medical history. Therefore, consulting your family doctor is a better option, whether for vaccination or to keep your blood sugar under control. Other medical issues that they may be able to address are:


  • Asthma and allergies
  • Flu, sore throat, and bronchitis
  • Tonsillitis
  • Injuries caused by a sudden jerk or jolt
  • Minor wounds (such as burns, animal bites, sprains, and strains)
  • Diarrhea and gagging
  • Backache
  • Gastrointestinal issues


Family doctors have never been more needed than they are right now due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Family doctors are at the center of this war, whether the combat is in the hospital or the office, constantly supported by other medical specialists.


Primary care doctors play an essential strategic role in the battle against the disease as they are usually the first point of contact for many patients. Family medicine doctors treat both hospitalized and outpatient patients. They can handle crises, unconscious patients, and ventilation adjustments. 


Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, family doctors have been instrumental in boosting patient confidence in the vaccine and dispensing the shots in their offices. They also educate patients about the necessary triage and treatment for new diseases.


What distinguishes family medicine from other specialties?


Family practice is a clinical specialty that puts the needs of the patient, the family, and the problems first. Family doctors develop and maintain a wide range of competencies depending on the demands of the patients and communities they serve. Family doctors are skilled at treating common complaints, identifying serious illnesses, locating hidden disorders, and treating most acute and chronic conditions. They also contribute to community practice, modern science, and ongoing quality improvement using their knowledge, abilities, and attitudes.


Family doctors care for people of all ages and treat them throughout their life cycles, from young children to teenagers to individuals in their middle years till they are well into their nineties. Family doctors can serve as your primary care providers at any time in your life because of the wide range of problems they handle. That ultimately translates into the possibility of creating a long-lasting connection with a family doctor. And by developing such a friendship, they can get to know you completely.


As a result of years of medical care, doctors become intimately familiar with their patient's medical histories. It also enables them to monitor changes in your health over time and spot any drug side effects. All of these things help physicians make accurate diagnoses. The patient's medical history is only one aspect of the situation. Knowing what is going on at home can be helpful at times. For example, this information is relevant for evaluating stress and anxiety in a child with family issues.


Why should one visit a family practice physician?


Family practice doctors offer various services that make them a helpful resource for individuals and families wanting comprehensive healthcare. They can treat and monitor conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, arthritis, and respiratory issues. 


Family doctors also facilitate referrals to medical specialists, ensuring patients receive the appropriate care from qualified professionals. They can coordinate prescriptions and monitor patients' conditions in collaboration with specialists. In cases of illness or injury, family medicine doctors are often capable of independent treatment, addressing conditions like fractures, cold and flu symptoms, pneumonia, asthma, and allergies. They can also treat back pain, minor wounds, tonsillitis, gastrointestinal issues, and ear infections.


Family practice physicians also provide routine exams, including physicals, well-child checkups, sports physicals, and screenings for men's and women's health. Their broad scope of care makes them an essential choice for primary healthcare needs.


Helpful tips when preparing for your family physician appointment


Once you book your appointment with a family physician near you, the next crucial step is to prepare for the visit. Appropriate preparation will help your provider make an accurate diagnosis, formulate an appropriate treatment plan, and offer tailored health suggestions. This way, you can achieve better satisfaction and outcomes. If you are confused about where to begin, rest assured the following tips can help you: 


  • List your concerns: Your family physician will welcome you by asking, “What brings you to the appointment today?” You may have new symptoms such as back pain or flu, need an exercise plan, or want to confirm your vaccination status. When you have more than one thing to discuss, preparing a list of everything in the right order of priority will help you communicate with the provider effectively. 
  • Carry your medical information: After discussing the reasons for your visit, the family physician will review your medical history, family history, and lifestyle to gather more relevant information. Depending on your situation, the provider may discuss your health conditions, allergies, injuries, surgeries, hospitalizations, medications (prescription and over the counter), and supplements. You must also carry any recent lab test or imaging test results. Similarly, be prepared to answer questions about your sleep quality, diet, physical activity, and stress levels. 
  • Gather essential documents: If it's your first appointment, prepare to fill out the initial paperwork. For that, carry your photo ID, insurance card, emergency contact information, and details of other providers in your healthcare team.  
  • Bring along a loved one: Lastly, it is a good idea to have a family member, friend, or caregiver join you for the appointment. They can provide emotional support, contribute to the discussion with the doctor, and take down notes for your reference.

Family physician statistics of Maryland


A study by the Robert Graham Center showed that Maryland had 1,213 family doctors among the 4,811 PCPs providing direct patient care in 2018. In other words, family physicians made up 25% of the primary care workforce. In Maryland, there were around 79 PCPs per 100,000 residents per capita. The ratio of female family doctors in the state (51%) was higher than the national average (45%). In addition, 4% of family doctors practice in rural counties, although only 3% of Maryland's population resides there. About 9% of Maryland's population lives in underserved counties, with over 2,000 people per primary care provider (PCP).


Results from the 2015 Maryland Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System show that 1.5 million adult citizens of Maryland have hypertension, also known as high blood pressure. In Maryland, there are an estimated 700,000 people with hypertension whose blood pressure is not under control. Uncontrolled hypertension can cause kidney damage, angina, peripheral artery disease, congestive heart failure, heart attacks, eyesight loss, and other health problems.


A third of adults in Maryland said they have ever had their blood pressure diagnosed as high. About 80.4% of them admitted to using medication to lower their blood pressure at the time. Heart disease and stroke, the two most significant causes of mortality for Marylanders, are made more likely by this widespread disorder.
