Serious question because I've never heard the term: what is a family medicine doctor?
It's the closest translation of the Dutch "huisarts" that's available.
"A general practitioner, commonly known as a family doctor or primary care physician, is a medical professional who focuses on providing general healthcare to patients. They often serve as the initial point of contact for individuals with medical concerns. General practitioners treat a wide range of health issues, offer preventive care, make diagnoses, and prescribe medications. When necessary, they refer patients to specialists for more specialized care. In essence, a general practitioner is a key figure in healthcare, playing a crucial role in managing individuals' health."
Ah yes, the 'Hausarzt' in German :D thanks for clearing that up!
