Family Medicine Physicians

Providing continuing, comprehensive medical care to entire families and directing inpatient and outpatient services transfers directly to civilian family medicine.

How to prepare: Compare your existing medical education, residency training, licenses, and credentials with the intended state medical board's and employer's requirements to identify any gaps. All states require physician licensure, with requirements varying by state.
