Palliative medicine is the study and care of patients with active, progressive, far advanced disease for whom the prognosis is limited and the focus of care is quality of life. This discipline recognizes the multidimensional nature of suffering, responds with care that addresses all of these dimensions, and communicates in a language that conveys mutuality, respect, and interdependence.

Family practice is the medical specialty which provides continuing and comprehensive health care for the individual and family. Family physicians possess unique attitudes, skills, and knowledge which qualify them to provide continuing and comprehensive medical care, health maintenance and preventive services to each member of the family regardless of sex, age or type of problem, be it biological, behavioral, or social. These specialists, because of their background and interactions with the family, are best qualified to serve as each patient's advocate in all health-related matters, including the appropriate use of consultants, health services, and community resources.
