Family Medicine

全科医学

A first point of contact for ongoing health needs and help coordinating specialist care.

Family medicine provides broad, continuing care across different ages and health needs. It can also help coordinate a referral when a more focused specialist consultation is needed.

Common consultation topics

  • General consultations
  • Ongoing health needs
  • Specialist referrals

Records to discuss with the hospital

  • A short summary of the reason for your visit
  • Current medicines, allergies and relevant previous reports

Questions before booking

  • Does this clinician see patients in my age group?
  • Can the team coordinate any specialist referral and follow-up?

Check the exact campus, clinician, appointment language and follow-up arrangements directly with the hospital. These are planning questions; the provider should tell you which documents and assessments are needed for your own appointment.
