Family Physician (Primary)

Doctors of family medicine are primary care physicians who provide basic health care to families and individuals of all ages. Family medicine involves the care, treatment, and management of all organs and organ systems, as well as all diseases. Typically, family physicians form lasting relationships with patients, paying special attention to their lives outside of their physical health, specifically their family and community relationships. In some places, family medicine is medicine is referred to as general practice (GP). Family medicine doctors in the US complete a 3 or 4 year residency in their specialty. The primary certifying body is the American Board of Family Medicine (ABFM).

Emergency medicine is the area of medicine that focuses on urgent treatment for people with serious injuries and ailments. Emergency medical doctors work in emergency departments and trauma centers at hospitals, and they are trained to handle medical crises and make fast diagnoses to help save lives. They treat a wide range of emergency medical problems including heart attacks, strokes, trauma wounds, and broken bones. Emergency medicine certified physicians increasingly work in the Urgent Care setting. Urgent care may be a more cost effective option, as well as more efficient, for those with less severe health issues than the emergency room.

Resident

A resident physician is a doctor who has completed medical school and is training to specialize in a specific area of medicine, such as surgery, pediatrics, or oncology. This three to seven year period of postgraduate training is supervised by attending physicians. After completing a residency, doctors take examinations to qualify for specialist board certification. Residents are licensed medical doctors with the appropriate degree and license to practice, but they report to a board certified "attending" doctor. While they cannot admit patients, they can play a key role in providing care.

This section shows the financial relationships between doctors and pharmaceutical and medical device companies.

The U.S. government collects extensive records about these relationships. Some examples include:

• Consulting fees that companies pay to doctors, to get their input about their products and research
• Companies paying doctors to speak about their products at conferences
• Companies taking doctors out to dinner to tell them about a new drug or medical device
• Companies paying for travel, hotel rooms, and food at medical conferences

The U.S. government collects and publishes these records due to concerns about conflicts of interest. However, CareDash does not believe that these transfers of value necessarily mean a doctor is ethically compromised. Eating sponsored food at conferences and speaking on behalf of pharmaceutical companies are not the same thing. Further, we believe that there are doctors who have success with companies' products, get paid to speak about them, and are still foremost devoted to successful patient outcomes.

Therefore, in addition to showing the payments information, we provide some context, such as the median amount for doctors of that specialty, to help users assess potential conflicts of interest. We encourage users to discuss this information with their doctors.

Data in this section is calculated using Open Payments data, collected by Medicare as part of the Affordable Care Act. This data contains detailed records about payments and other transfers of value from pharmaceutical and medical device companies to doctors.

Although the Open Payments program is administered by Medicare, it covers almost all doctors in the United States, including those who do not accept Medicare insurance.
