I enjoy the humour of "team mates" being spoken of like they're a norm/given in the US FM field.

I never heard of the family practice Doctor Who is only working 8 to 5. Then you said some thing about being in Canada and I was like oh yeah, I don’t think it’s the same in the US. When do you go to see your patients at the hospital? Why do I get return calls from my doctor or his nurse at 7:30 at night? How often do you take calls? How often do you get calls from worried mother at 2 AM? My family practice doctor was wonderful, and I hated when he retired.

[@mountaingirl6479]

I meant take call. My dr took call in the early years 1-2x per week, later as we got more drs in this area he got in a group and only took call e try 11 days or something. Later, minor emergency clinics became popular. And he encouraged using them on weekends and go to the ER. But someone is still on call 24/7 for serious situation, and needing people to the hospital, etc.

LOL I work in records management. Paperwork, good grief, it's endless and my inbox is rarely empty.....sure, I'm not processing, but sorting and filing is more time consuming....we just moved last Monday, I've got close to three feet of filing to get sorted and filed... Family medicine docs can make lots, it's all about that infamous work life balance that doesn't exist....

[@nxtgenmd]

3 feet of filing... 🥲 makes me appreciate my charting even more aha. Goodluck Jeanette!

[@jeanetteraichel8299]

@@nxtgenmd ah, it gets better combine fibromyalgia, cervical spondylosis, peripheral neuropathy, arthritis (I'm 53) and have no one designated to help you with packing, stacking, and shifting files for the move. 10K to our record center abd 30K to shift to ensure all is well when moved to crappy repurposed shelves (meaning no shifting to do in a couple months). Oh, and I'm all alone. Throw in 34 more boxes to pack and Wonder Woman's invisible jet crashed two weeks ago. I crawled out in very rough shape to see the move through until the physical and mental stress made me crash.....doc put me off for a month......ya, bosses didn't give a rats ass at my warning or physical crying that I'm falling apart...needless to say, that stack is probably closer to five feet now....

Family medicine is a medical specialty within primary care that provides continuing and comprehensive health care for the individual and family across all ages, genders, diseases, and parts of the body. The specialist, who is usually a primary care physician, is named a family physician. It is often referred to as general practice and a practitioner as a general practitioner. Historically, their role was once performed by any doctor with qualifications from a medical school and who works in the community. However, since the 1950s, family medicine / general practice has become a specialty in its own right, with specific training requirements tailored to each country. The names of the specialty emphasize its holistic nature and/or its roots in the family. It is based on knowledge of the patient in the context of the family and the community, focusing on disease prevention and health promotion. According to the World Organization of Family Doctors (WONCA), the aim of family medicine is "promoting personal, comprehensive and continuing care for the individual in the context of the family and the community". The issues of values underlying this practice are usually known as primary care ethics.

Very well said! This is exactly why I aspire to be a doctor of family medicine... It's about empowering people of all ages to live happier and healthier lives!

[@surrealistgirlx]

You need a Jonathan! Based on your experiences as a resident it would be great if you would react to any of them in terms of your experience and perceptions about them. My top requests are ER, internal medicine and pediatrics. Thanks!

[@Bmewrite]

As a hospitalist, I consider family medicine to be the Kings of medicine.

You have any tips for a Canadian going to Australia to study med? I’m not looking to return to Canada most likely stay in Australia or try for US. I’m interested in primary care and pathology

[@nxtgenmd]

If you're not looking to come back to Canada then you should be fine :) Work hard, take electives early and explore the various specialties. If you're in a 4 year program then do step 1 in the summer after year 2 and then do step 2 after 3rd year whenever you have time... be sure to study hard if you're trying to match residency in the US since they use the Step 2 CK score to compare their applicants and you'll be disadvantaged as an IMG. Best of luck with everything! And enjoy the Australian surfing if you're into that 🤙:)
