The term 'discipline', as applied to family medicine, is widely used, yet poorly understood. The dictionary definitions of discipline as "a branch of knowledge or learning; training that develops self-control, character, or orderliness and efficiency" are related in this article to the personal discipline of family physicians. This discipline requires a commitment to whole person medicine, learning and growth; it is both efficient and humane.
“学科”一词在家庭医学中被广泛使用，但却理解得很差。本文中，字典里对“学科”的定义为“知识或学问的分支；培养自我控制、性格或有序和效率的训练”，这与家庭医生的个人学科相关。这种学科需要对全人医学、学习和成长的承诺；它既有效率又有人情味。
