    What is a primary care physician (PCP)?  

    A primary care physician (PCP) is the first doctor people go to when they feel sick or need a check-up. This doctor helps with many different health problems, gives advice to keep patients healthy, and treats common illnesses. A PCP also keeps track of a person’s overall health and can refer them to a specialist if more specific care is needed.    

    What’s the difference between a primary care physician (PCP) and a specialist?  

    The main difference between a PCP and a specialist is the kind of health conditions they treat. PCPs care for people of all ages and treat a wide range of health issues, from the common cold to sports injuries. 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. PCPs will also collaborate with specialists on a treatment plan specific to their patients’ needs. 

    What is another name for a primary care physician?
