Both general practitioners and community physicians practise a range of activities along a spectrum from health care to prevention, but increasingly they have come to regard preventive medicine as the key to their respective future roles. This convergence of goals is deceptive because the primary care model of prevention is individual-oriented while that of community medicine is population-oriented. Since an effective preventive strategy is likely to require the use of both these approaches, community physicians and general practitioners should acknowledge the complementary nature of their skills and work towards the integration of their preventive efforts.
全科医生和社区医生都开展从医疗保健到预防等一系列活动，但他们越来越将预防医学视为各自未来角色的关键。这种目标的趋同具有欺骗性，因为初级保健的预防模式是以个体为导向的，而社区医学的预防模式是以人群为导向的。由于有效的预防策略可能需要同时运用这两种方法，社区医生和全科医生应该认识到他们技能的互补性，并努力整合他们的预防工作。
