Family Medicine
Family medicine is designed to care for the whole family, from newborns to the elderly. Family medicine is more popular in certain areas of the country and some family medicine practitioners specialize in areas like delivering babies, or geriatrics, but most are based in primary care.
The genius in the program is the bringing together of the lawyer into the medical clinic where these problems surface, which enables the doctor to include the legal remedy as part of the medical treatment. No longer is the doctor limited by the scope of his practice, and the lawyer is introduced to the problem in its most apparent manifestation.
