Primary Care Physicians: Family Medicine

Family Medicine refers to the general practice of medicine for patients across ages and genders. A family medicine doctor in Washington addresses general health concerns and tracks the comprehensive health of returning patients. Family medicine doctors treat a range of conditions, including coughs, colds and high blood pressure. Physicians within this field are also referred to as family doctors or family physicians.

Specialists trained in family medicine complete standard medical training in Washington. This includes undergraduate and medical school, as well as a minimum of three years in specialized family medicine training in a residency program.

There are a number of subspecialties within family medicine in Washington. Geriatric Medicine subspecialists, for example, monitor the general health of older adults.. Sports Medicine subspecialists, on the other hand, help prevent, diagnose and treat sports-related conditions, including acute and overuse injuries, and often track the health of patients who regularly participate in intense sports activities.

If you receive regular physical exams or seasonal flu shots in Washington, you’re likely doing so with the care of a family medicine doctor. Upon visiting a family medicine specialist, patients should expect to have their vitals taken (ex. blood pressure, body temperature, weight, breathing rate) and provide their medical history.
