Deciding
Your Needs
Internists and
family physicians are the two largest groups of primary care doctors
for adults. Many women see obstetricians/gynecologists for some
or all of their primary care needs. Pediatricians and family practitioners
are primary care doctors for many children.
Physician
assistants, nurse practitioners, and certified nurse midwives
are trained to deliver many aspects of primary care. Physician
assistants must practice in partnership with doctors. Nurse
practitioners and certified nurse midwives can work independently
in some States, but not others. |
