Family Doctor: Family doctors generally provide medical care for patients of all ages, including children. Many family doctors provide prenatal care and/or delivers babies. Internal medicine doctors do not provide pediatric nor ob/gyn services.

Medical Detective: Internal medicine and family medicine are trained differently. Internal medicine trains in bodily systems (cardiology, gastroenterology, etc.). Internal medicine is for adults. Family medicine physicians are trained in pediatrics and gynecology.
