Family Practice & Internal Medicine. Both Family Practice and Internal Medicine physicians serve as primary care physicians. Both types of physicians have attended four years of medical school, followed by a three year residency. The focus of the residency is what differentiates the two areas. Family practice physicians' training focuses on caring for the whole family, including pediatrics and OB/GYN care. Internal medicine training focuses solely on disease facing adults. Both types of physicians are required to take ongoing medical education courses throughout their career.
