In the United States, family medicine residency typically lasts for three years. This follows a four-year undergraduate degree and a four-year medical degree. The three-year residency program provides comprehensive training in various medical areas, including internal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, psychiatry, and geriatrics, as well as outpatient care, community medicine, and practice management. Some family medicine physicians choose to do additional fellowship training in a specific area after completing their residency.
