Family practice physicians provide general medical care — primary health care, preventive services, and long-term care in the home, hospital and community facilities — to all age groups. Emphasis is on family orientation, continuity of the doctor-patient relationship, and health maintenance. Special expertise is available for the problems of older persons through an interdisciplinary geriatric assessment and planning (GAP) program. Faculty members serve as academic physicians for the University of Miami Family Medicine Program at the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Medical Center, and also provide physician services for area clinics, health maintenance organizations and managed care programs.
