Family Medicine

Taking a holistic approach to wellness, the Department of Family Medicine at UPMC stands on the foundation of accepting each patient as an integrated and whole person — body, mind, and
spirit — and as an integral part of his or her family and community.

As part of a world-class academic medical center, the department’s tripartite mission is to provide high-quality patient care, support research initiatives, and equip future physicians with the competencies required for family-oriented patient care.

In accomplishing this mission, the department delivers care at seven health centers and practices throughout Pittsburgh and its surrounding neighborhoods, as well as at several local hospitals. Research in community-based health is conducted by the faculty and by research staff members.

Currently, plans are in development for global delivery of the UPMC Family Medicine model.
