PART 2: MODERN FAMILY MEDICINE

The Science of Modern Family Medicine reintegrates and restores the broad relational and systemic principles of Family and Community Medicine, and creates a unifying framework for the heterogenous and diverse scientific inquiries in Family Practice. It is a clinical and medical study of health care systems at various levels of complexity , and their components , as they relate to the practice of Modern Family Practice. Modern Family Medicine is the discipline, and Modern Family Practice is the practice and specialty. It is a medical field that has rediscovered and restored its very own unique, unified, and stable scientific foundations. It maintains its roots in the historical generalist tradition, and its scope remains to be dynamic, and evolutionary in a defined framework.
