In the 21st century, family medicine goes far beyond curing diseases. Faced with chronic conditions and not-communicable diseases, mental health challenges, and complex social issues, general practitioners increasingly act as guides and partners in their patients’ health journeys. Our mission now includes promoting health, preventing illness, and empowering patients to care for themselves.

Developing the ability to demedicalize whenever appropriate is emerging as a core competency for the future of general practice.Critical reflection on our own practices and what we include in our professional role or not.
