Family Residency

So this is a post for those who I haven't told yet, but I've decided on Family Medicine for my profession.
There are many reasons that I've chosen it, but here is the short list
1 - I really like teaching people and helping them learn what they can do to live healthy
2 - I strongly believe that an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure.
3 - You can address the whole person and not have to pass them off to another specialist to deal with their problems (an Orthopedist doesn't do blood pressure, an Internal Medicine doesn't do much musculoskeletal, etc.)
4 - You can take care of a person, their mother, child, sister, grandmother, delivery babies, etc. all in the same practice
There are more, but like I said, this is the short list. I keep running into people who I haven't told about my decision, so I thought I'd better tell the 10 people who read this blog at least.
