okay, this is a good question. Family practice is like an overall doctor, like there are rhemuatologists (artiritis doctors) and other types, family practicians have an overall view of everything and everyone ranging from just born to 100 yrs+ now, an internl medicine doctor takes care of more adults.. they don't work with children. There is a certain age tht they accept.

family practice is basically a primary care physician,who can see any ailment...and treat them or refer them to the concerned specialist..
An int medicine physician can see outpatient cases and also treat cases medically as in patients...
