What is the difference between an MD, DO, PA-C and Family Nurse Practitioner?

• A MD is someone who has graduated from medical school. He or she may be a caregiver, psychologist, radiologist, pathologist or other type of practitioner. MDs may also choose to go into research or education rather than directly treat patients.
• A DO is a physician who practices osteopathic medicine, which focuses on the musculoskeletal system. When diagnosing injury and illness, a DO typically looks at the whole person rather than a specific symptom, and focuses on leveraging the body’s natural ability to heal itself.
• Physician Assistants are trained medical professionals who are licensed to provide medical care with the supervision of a physician. A Physician Assistant-Certified (PA-C) must commit to 100 hours of continuing education every two years and must test for re-certification every six years.
• Family Nurse Practitioners (FNP) are registered nurses who have received advanced nursing education. An FNP generally takes a team approach in treating patients and provide a wide range of services, including diagnosing and treating medical conditions, providing screenings and immunizations, conducting physical exams and prescribing medications.

What is the difference between Internal Medicine and Family Practice?

The fields of internal medicine and family practice often overlap but there are some very distinct differences between the two. Family medicine generally encompasses a wide range of services such as obstetrics, gynecology, preventive care and pediatrics. Internal medicine, on the other hand, deals specifically with adult diseases and chronic illnesses including diabetes, renal failure, heart failure and more. This does not mean that an adult should see an internist for regular check-ups. A family practitioner is trained to care for patients of all ages and will consult with an internist when necessary.
