Abstract
Among medical specialties, family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics & gynecology, pediatrics are traditionally considered primary care disciplines. Within the scope of service provision, a wider integration from the perspective of community needs is needed in the present times. Primary care providers also include nurse practitioners. Several subspecialties, such as preventive cardiology, also intersect the disciplinary boundaries of primary care.
