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.
