Which practice style is right for me?

Although a small percentage of new family

physicians choose to pursue alternative

practice styles, most join traditional

practices that provide personalized,

comprehensive, continuous patient care.

The 21st century model of American

primary care — the patient-centered

medical home (PCMH) — is patient-

focused and delivered by teams led by

family physicians. Learn more about

being part of a PCMH practice.
