What is a primary care physician (PCP)?

They also focus on preventive care, such as vaccines to prevent illnesses or screenings to catch diseases before they become serious.
Specialists, on the other hand, have advanced training in a specific area of medicine like cardiology (heart health) or neurology (brain health). There are many kinds of specialists on MediFind, each with their own focus. When needed, PCPs will help patients understand when they need to see a specialist.
