The Department of Family Medicine is in the School of Medicine in the UP Faculty of Health Sciences. Family Medicine is an academic discipline that takes a holistic, bio-psycho-social approach to health. Family physicians are involved in services that extend from private medical practitioners to public sector clinics, community health centers and district hospitals as well as across public, private and non-governmental organizations involved in health care and disease management. Family Medicine is critical to the integration of health care in the District Health System.
