Family Medicine and Primary Care

Why this course is relevant

Most health needs are met in primary care — HC II–IV, outpatient clinics, and community-linked services. Family medicine skills (listening, sorting urgency, continuity, prevention, and whole-person care) improve outcomes for individuals and reduce pressure on hospitals.

What you will gain
