Pitfalls in Family Medicine Clinical Practice

In recent years, the discipline of general practice has undergone significant development. A general practitioner requires a broad knowledge base and a wide range of skills to provide comprehensive care for their patients. Within the time constraints of a busy practice and limited consultation time, the general practitioner must do their best to address various patient complaints and determine the most appropriate management plan. Consultation is at the heart of general practice. We have constructed clinical case scenarios based on the real-life experiences of a group of senior family medicine and internal medicine physicians. Our cases are designed to be symptom-based, tackling the most common and important presenting symptoms encountered in our practice.
