Are they the same or different?
If different, then how?
And is there an advantage to becoming one of them versus the other???
Thanks! ^_^

Family practitioner = family doctor = primary care physician = general practitioner

A kin practitioner might want to or received't be a well being care specialist (as an social gathering, a kin Nurse Practitioner); yet except "Nurse" is suitable, this is always a well being care specialist. otherwise, they're an identical element.

A family practitioner may or may not be a doctor (for example, a Family Nurse Practitioner); but unless "Nurse" is specified, it's usually a doctor. Otherwise, they are the same thing.

As doctors they are the same. A nurse practitioner is different. They are a nurse that can do things a regular nurse can not do. If I had a choice I would be a doctor.
