The Importance of Family Medicine in MAINE

Family physicians are residency-trained, primary care specialists dedicated to treating the whole person.  With a focus on prevention, primary care, and overall care coordination, family physicians provide a wide variety of clinical services, and, when necessary, refer their patients to a specialist, while continuing to advocate for that patient's care.
