The Lone Scouts of America and the Boy Scouts of America merged in 1924. Since then the Boy Scouts of America has administered a Lone Scout plan as part of its mission of bringing Scouting to all American youth who wish to take part, regardless of circumstances.
As a family doctor, we're trained to see people of all ages, from pregnant women, to newborns, to adults, to the very elderly. We're also trained to work in either a hospital or in an outpatient office, although many (not all) will choose one or the other. Some will also work in urgent care centres or nursing homes.
<br /><br /> Family doctors spend their 3 years of training learning about medical problems of children, adults, OB/Gyn, surgery and other specialties. They can treat families from babies to adults, but their training is not as intensive in one area as an Internal Medicine doctor.
