Estelle’s Answer

If you are planning to practice in rural community with few resources, Family Practice is a great idea. In larger cities, much of family practice is being performed by physician extenders who refer to specialists. So, your question is very good. Tha answer depends on where you plan to practice.

Rachel’s Answer

Primary care is a very rewarding field but can be difficult for many physicians. PCP's are in high demand, and they are being asked to see more patients with more complicated problems. They are also having to dedicate less time to each patient because of decreases in compensations. This job, while very much in demand, requires a broad knowledge of medicine. Great field, very challenging.
