Study Notes
Introduction to Family Medicine
- Family medicine is a medical specialty providing ongoing, comprehensive care for individuals and families.
- It integrates biological, clinical, and behavioral sciences.
- The scope encompasses all ages, sexes, organ systems, and diseases.
- "Family practice" is a broader term encompassing family practice and the academic aspects of the discipline.
- This term is used in universities and academic centers to emphasize the service component and practical aspects of family medicine.
- Often, family medicine is unique in how knowledge is shared with other medical specializations while providing care.
Family Practice Includes
- Diagnosing health problems
- Managing acute and chronic health problems
- Promoting health
- Providing health education
- Maintaining health
- Preventing diseases
- Counseling
- Home care
General Practice
- In certain countries (e.g., Saudi Arabia), "General Practitioner" is the physician practicing in primary healthcare centers without postgraduate training in family medicine.
- It's referred to as "Family Physician" in other countries (e.g., UK, Australia).
- Primary care is the initial point of contact with the healthcare system (can include ER, primary healthcare centers, or outpatient clinics).
- Primary care can be provided by a General Practitioner, Family Physician, Internist, Pediatrician, or other specialists.
- Primary care is not a specialty, but a level of care.
Misconceptions About Family Physicians
- Family physicians can handle everything: Primary care physicians must have knowledge and skill to handle diverse cases.
- Family physicians rarely refer to specialists: This is generally inaccurate; referrals occur about 10% of the time. Referrals are only made when a specialist is deemed necessary for improved patient care.
- Family medicine is an easy specialty: This is usually inaccurate; it requires significant knowledge and training, and dealing with various conditions and needs requires skill.
- Family medicine is expensive: Direct primary care avoids this issue by allowing for regular visits with a primary care team.
History of Family Medicine
- The term "general practitioner" was first mentioned by Lancet in 1823.
- The number of specialists increased dramatically after World War II.
- In 1923, Dr. Francis Peabody underscored the need for comprehensive care from a general physician.
- The American Academy of General Practice was founded in 1947.
- Family medicine became a formal residency training program in the 1950s and recognized as an American medical specialty in 1969.
- Other organizations like the Royal college of General Practitioners and World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA) were founded later.
- Family physicians comprise a primary core of the healthcare system in various countries including Canada, Australia, and the UK.
Principles of Family Medicine
- Family physicians consider patients' individual needs and goals, irrespective of age, sex or organ-system issues. Clinical skills include diagnosis, prescribing medications, counseling, and office procedures.
- Family physicians prioritize the patient experience, looking into their concerns, ideas, and expectations.
- They use family and community resources to improve patient well-being.
- Family medicine's preventive care encompasses all stages of life (e.g., immunizations, health examinations).
Primary Health Care
- Primary health care is essential health care based on practical, scientifically sound methods accessible to everyone.
- It's an integral part of a country's healthcare system.
- Primary health care establishes initial contact between individuals/families and the national healthcare system.
Primary Healthcare Principles
- Equity: Essential services for all, with a focus on those with the greatest need.
- Appropriate Technology: The technology used should be scientifically sound, culturally acceptable, and affordable.
- Multi-sectoral Approach: Various sectors (agriculture, industry, education) should collaborate.
- Community Participation: The community must be involved in planning, organization, and operation of PHC.
Elements of PHC
- Health Promotion: Covering health education, food supply, maternal and children health.
- Disease Prevention: Preventing illnesses and controlling endemic diseases (clean water, sanitation etc.)
- Curative Care: Treating common diseases, and injury.
- Rehabilitation: Support to return to health after illness or injury.
Levels of Healthcare
- Primary Care: First contact with the healthcare system, focusing on preventive care.
- Secondary Care: Patients with specific medical conditions requiring more specialized care.
- Tertiary Care: The most specialized care, only available in advanced facilities.
