In FM one can manage the patient as a whole, with help from other specialties.It allows one to treat a wide variety of illnesses. One is in charge of everything that is going on in his/her patient, and one has to coordinate with different specialties. This is a very appealing prospect of Family medicine.
FM gives an opportunity to treat patients of all ages and genders ,be it children or adults ; men or women.
FM provides one an opportunity to serve in small towns and underserved communities.
FM has a vital role in educating families and providing preventive care.
FM has its focus on the family unit.
Good Luck!
