You are one of the next doctors. What kind of doctor will you be?
If you choose Family Medicine, you’ll be entering into an incredibly rewarding, flexible and noble
career.
A career as a family physician is as challenging as any in the medical profession. You need to be ready
to make decisions on a broad variety of medical situations or diligently pursue answers when faced with
difficult problems. You will become the gateway to the entire health care system. It’s a big
responsibility and you will need to be highly motivated.
Right now the opportunities for family physicians are unlimited. You can choose to work almost anywhere
in the world, enjoy a flexible lifestyle, control the amount of time you work, and sub-specialize in
areas you’re passionate about. Or you could advance into research and teaching.
Being a family physician gives you the ability and the means to follow other interests outside of
medicine, so balancing your life will be entirely up to you. You’ll have the option to get your career
on track early and then do additional things you want, like starting a family or traveling, all the
while building long term relationships with your patients.
