As of this moment i do not have a family medicine practitioner that i go to routinely, i typically just go to a walk in clinic whenever needed. This year i wanted to change that by joining/ becoming a patient and having my yearly/bi-yearly physical and other tests. Which speaking of, what tests would be performed on a healthy( that i know of) 22 year old other than a Physical(?)
My main question is how to find a good family medicine doctor, what i should look for as far as certifications, licenses, ratings, reviews, organizations that they’re apart of. Thanks.
If you’re young and healthy, your routine preventative care is fairly straightforward. A board-certified family physician (AAFP) should be able to take care of you, though I don’t have specific recommendations on how to find one in your area. They don’t need to have tons of additional certifications or be part of certain organizations.
The recommendations regarding tests/screenings for a given individual can be found here: Prevention TaskForce Search
