Family physicians complete extensive training beyond medical school in order to be able to provide the best possible patient care, including a three-year residency; in-depth training across a human lifespan from birth to death; and potential additional fellowships and qualifications in concentrations like adolescent medicine, emergency medicine, faculty development, and more. Family medicine residents participate in integrated inpatient and outpatient learning and receive training in six major medical areas - pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, internal medicine, psychiatry and neurology, surgery, and community medicine.
