Primary Care
Family medicine physicians, also called family practice physicians, are medical doctors who specialize in the total health care of the individual and the family. After four years of medical school, they complete an additional three-year residency program.
Family medicine physicians can diagnose and treat a variety of health conditions and diseases for people of all ages and both sexes. They may further specialize in another area of medicine, such as the care of older adults (geriatric medicine) or people who have sports injuries (sports medicine).
Medical Specialists
Medical specialists are doctors who have completed advanced education and clinical training in a specific area of medicine (their specialty area).
Surgical Specialists
Surgeons are medical doctors who specialize in evaluating people with potential surgical problems and performing surgical operations and techniques.
Common surgeries include hernia repairs, gallbladder removal, and removal of the appendix. There are many subspecialties in surgery, including chest (thoracic) surgery, blood vessel (vascular) surgery, colon and rectal surgery, and plastic surgery. Surgeons may further specialize by limiting their practice to specific age groups, such as pediatric surgeons, who only treat children.
Surgeons can be board-certified through the Board of Surgery, which is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
Radiology/Testing Services
Radiologists are medical doctors who specialize in performing and interpreting diagnostic imaging tests. They read X-rays and scans, such as chest X-rays, ultrasounds, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Another specialist or primary care doctor may base treatment decisions on findings reported by the radiologist. Radiologists may also supervise people who perform special tests, such as barium enemas or computed tomography (CT) scans.
Radiologists can be board-certified through the Board of Radiology, which is recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties.
