How does one become a family physician?

No doubt there are as many reasons for becoming a family physician as there are family physicians. Some would say that they inherited the gene from their fathers or mothers, who were family physicians before them; it was their destiny. Some remember physicians who inspired them to pursue this path by setting a wonderful example: their own family physicians or the physicians who practised in their villages or neighbourhoods. Others talk about pursuing a dream or a mission to accomplish great things, save lives, or ease suffering, following in the footsteps of Albert Schweitzer or Stephen Lewis.
