with Dr. Charles Vega, MD, from UC Irvine

Family medicine has tremendous impact on patients’ wellbeing and prevention as it focuses on understanding patients in their environment, taking into account the impact of psychological and sociological factors on illness. Developing the holistic mindset needed to develop long-lasting relationships with patients and plan comprehensive interventions is a learning curve.

This course will teach you how to operate under the basic tenets of family medicine: the biopsychosocial model, holistic and integrated care, and resource efficiency. Dr. Charles Vega, MD, a seasoned family physician and Clinical Professor of Family Medicine at UC Irvine, will walk you through the most common complaints seen in outpatient care and help you understand them as a result from various factors – from biochemical to social.

You will cover basic family medicine principles, key conditions in acute and chronic care, as well as geriatric care and preventive medicine, highlighting practical issues like establishing rapport, monitoring patient development over time, and how to judge the individual case holistically rather than as a textbook example.

The combination of Video Lessons with interactive quiz questions, downloadable study materials, and a USMLE-style Qbank makes it easy to understand and retain the topics. By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of the family medicine approach and be equipped with the necessary skills to provide holistic patient care effectively.

FAQs

What is family medicine?

Family medicine (or general practice) is a medical specialty focused on comprehensive and ongoing health care for individuals and families across all ages, genders, diseases, and parts of the body. The specialty is rooted in a holistic approach, viewing health and illness in the context of the patient’s life, family, and community.

What is the difference between family medicine and internal medicine?

Both specialties are primary care specialties but there are differences.
Family medicine focuses on patients of all ages, approaches a wide array of health issues, and strongly utilizes a holistic perspective on the patient with their family dynamics and social determinants of health. Internal medicine typically treats adult patients affected by complex diseases, and also has more subspecialties (e.g. cardiology, gastroenterology, etc).

How long is family medicine residency?

In the United States, family medicine residency typically lasts for three years. This follows a four-year undergraduate degree and a four-year medical degree. The three-year residency program provides comprehensive training in various medical areas, including internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, and geriatrics, as well as outpatient care, community medicine, and practice management. Some family medicine physicians choose to do additional fellowship training in a specific area after completing their residency.

What is family medicine vs primary care?

In short: All family medicine physicians provide primary care, but not all primary care providers are family physicians.

Primary care is the first point of contact a patient has with the healthcare system for their concern, and this contact can be doctors from several specialties. Family medicine in particular is its own medical specialty.
