Family medicine doctors provide comprehensive health care for the individual and family throughout the course of life. The scope of family medicine encompasses all ages, each organ system and every disease entity. Family medicine doctors typically attend a four-year medical school and complete a three-year residency before passing a board-certification exam.

Internal medicine doctors are specialists who diagnose, treat and care for adults across the spectrum, from health maintenance to complex illness. At least three of their seven or more years of medical school and postgraduate training are dedicated to learning how to prevent, diagnose and treat diseases affecting adults, which then is followed by passing a board-certification exam.

Internal medicine-pediatrics (Med-Peds) doctors provide general health care to adults and children of all ages, but have an added special focus on treating adults diagnosed with lifelong conditions in childhood, such as cystic fibrosis, diabetes, congenital heart disease and autism. These physicians typically attend a four-year medical school followed by a four-year residency (two years in internal medicine and two in pediatrics) before passing a board-certification exam.
