difference of internal medicine and family practice
Family practice is the basic practice of medicine where the physician deals with the day to day illnesses and provides treatment for people of all age groups and both the sexes at the local level. The practitioners of general practice are called as General Practitioners and also called as GP.
Internal medicine is the branch of medicine which deals with the internal organs of the body in detail. The practitioners are called as Internists. The cases which cannot be dealt with the general practitioners are referred to the internists.
