Start NowFamily medicine is the branch of medicine that focuses on providing long-lasting primary care by developing a very close doctor-patient relationship. Family physicians operate under three basic tenets: personal relationship under the biopsychosocial model, holistic and integrated care, and resource efficiency.
This course requires the medical student to be close to the end of their training, after exposure to all major medical specialties, and while preparing to enter the medical workforce. Knowledge of the most common complaints seen in outpatient care is also very helpful.
The holistic approach of a family physician, derived from the biopsychosocial model of disease, can help understand ailments that result from various factors spanning the biochemical to social aspects. Family physicians are especially aware of the impact of psychological and sociological factors in the betterment or worsening of illness, which allows them to include comprehensive interventions in the outpatient setting to improve outcomes.
Some schools of thought may dismiss family medicine as a glorified general practice; however, in today's scenario that involves sub-specialization and matter-of-fact doctor-patient relationships, the ability to understand patients and their environment is a valuable trait. Thus, building a relationship with a patient that can last a lifetime is a skill that all physicians must hone.

Excellent review of Family Medicine with review questions. I viewed it over the course of one day. The content is easy to follow and the presenter is extremely knowledgeable. Appropriate for nurse practitioners although the content was geared toward physicians
Not spending much on this one because I only work in the clinic.
Dr. Vega.... The best and enjoy every minute of it.
I really like the professor/Doctor who is doing the lectures. Cute and funny with a lot of great info. I especially liked his foot modeling. He is right. I also like how he advises to work with patients and I bet they love him too.
I missed lectures about hematologic cases, more about infectious diseases and urogenital cases.
It’s made simple and practical. I would recommend it to anyone
Presents an interesting counterargument on the usefulness of the general physical exam and review of systems.
He is a great teacher and shows the baseline level of investigation and treatment but also shows when one needs to jump to a higher level with acute problems.
Dr Vega has an amazing breadth of knowledge and he makes these concepts easy to learn! I went to med school 20 years ago and he shows the new treatment strategies beside the older, proven protocols. DocWillis.org
I like listening to this lecturers' videos because they are very interesting, yet they instill information in a very clinical way. Yay!
I liked his joke! He's really knowledge and own clinical sense of epidemiology, presentation, etc. are inspiring!
The lecturer is very eloquent and pleasant. He also points to facts which may be confusing and harder to memorize, making it easier in remembering. He gives great examples to stress the importance of the information in his lectures.
Everything is fine, but u need to add explanation for the questions at the end of each section, not just answers

Not bad He is very fast speaker , so his English for native speaker .
Rashes are very common in the outpatient setting, I've seen a lot in the urgent care. Thank you very much for summarizing, all that information.
This everyday clinical cases may be the most important lesson for new doctors.
Learning how to treat a very typical easy case is very helpful to students. We learn so many diseases we fear it could be something rare or that we are always missing something serious.
Excellent presentation, He made it clear which is the cornerstone of management, advantages and disadvantages of management. Greetings from Mexico

Outstanding. Very enjoyable lectures. Dr. Vega is the type of physician everyone should have.
A high-yield overview and good summary of common acute care family medicine presentations. Not incredibly difficult, and could benefit from potentially more in-depth therapeutics discussions.
These videos are very efficient and useful for step 2 and so many other medical exams too.... Want to have some more videos from other clinical subjects ..
