What is the difference between a doctor that has a family practice and a general practice?

The training: Family practice (family medicine)- go through 3 years residency program after medical school, training in different fields/specialties, hands on in hospitals and clinics. General practice- starting to practice general medicine after graduating from medical school ( this is usually the older generation of doctors).

Pretty similar: Both general practice doctors and family practice doctors see the same types of patients. Individual physicians may vary in practice guidelines, but many practices will see children, adults, obstetric patients, and perform some procedures.
