 Internal medicine versus family medicine, which is the better choice for you. Let's break it down. Now, the similarities between the two include the length of training. Both require three years of residency after finishing medical school. Other similarity includes roughly their salary. Depending on where you're working, you can easily make anywhere from 250 to 270,000. Both as a family medicine physician, as well as an internal medicine doctor. Keep in mind this number will fluctuate depending on where you're working and the institution you're working for. Now, within the field of internal medicine, you can definitely be a specialist, like a cardiologist, like I will be in three years, where then you are working more in the clinic setting and serving more as a consultant in the hospital setting. And on the flip side, in family medicine, one of the biggest advantages you have is the flexibility on who you see. And so, while you may be trained to taking care of anyone from a brand new infant all the way to an elderly geriatric population, you can choose to say, in my clinic, I only want to work with adults. I only want to work with OB-GYN patients. But both fields will train you well to learn about a variety of medical problems that you can use to then be a great physician for your patients.
