If you're interested in helping people become healthy and maintain their health, primary care may be the right health care setting for you. Primary care practices include doctors' offices and are often a patient's first point of contact with the health care system. Primary care practices provide health promotion, disease prevention, health maintenance, counseling, patient education, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic illnesses in a variety of health care settings. Your doctor's office is a primary care practice, but these services are also offered in hospitals, urgent care centers, long-term care facilities, home care, and day care.
Four sites have information on primary care. We highlight the sites and the content we think you'll find useful as you explore your career options in this area of health care.
