“Family health that fosters love, Family Medicine for the nation, Family Medicine at the center of primary care”

1) What is a Family Medicine Specialist?
There are many specialties in modern medicine. While this specialization has led to remarkable medical advances, on the other hand, several problems have also arisen. Instead of comprehensively consulting and examining an individual’s health problems, they are divided into individual organs and systems, leading to the inconvenience of visiting outpatient clinics of various specialties and receiving care from multiple physicians, even for interrelated symptoms.
This has also led to the inconvenience of receiving treatment, which can also be a cause of increased medical expenses. Therefore, alongside the specialization and subspecialization of medicine, there has been a demand for another specialty capable of providing more humanistic care, comprehensively evaluating patients' diverse symptoms, and treating them holistically.
The need for another medical specialty has emerged. Family medicine is a new specialty introduced in response to this demand, aiming to provide continuous and comprehensive medical services regardless of the type of disease or age. A Family Medicine specialist is a primary care physician professionally trained to achieve this goal.
