The most significant difference between a general medicine doctor and a family doctor is the age range of the patients that they treat. While a family doctor focuses their medical practice on the medical care of patients of all ages, from newborn babies to geriatric patients, a general medicine doctor is focused only on adults over the age of 18. Family doctors are also focused on preventative care of their patients, with regular physical exams and screenings being the primary purpose of their practice in order to diagnose medical conditions in the early stages. General medicine is focused more on the diagnosis and treatment of existing or newly developed conditions, as well as the post-illness preventative treatment plan to try to avoid recurrences of the same issues.
