Many internal medicine doctors serve as family doctors and primary care physicians. An internist who provides a more general but comprehensive scope of services can perform diagnostics such as physical examinations, bone-density testing, cholesterol testing and pap smears.
I have noticed that some doctors are family doctors and some are listed as internists. I would like to know if one of these is better suited for this issue. Answer. A family physician is a doctor who has completed a residency in family medicine, whereas an internist has completed a residency in internal medicine. Family medicine and internal medicine have a lot of similarities but also a lot that separates them into two different fields of medicine. Family medicine doctors see all ages of babies, from birth to death. Some family medicine doctors choose to deliver babies as well. Internal medicine doctors only see adults, usually age 18 and older.
