primary care -- keywords

("primary care" OR "family practice" OR "family physician" OR "family physicians" OR "general practice" OR "general practitioners" OR "general practitioner" OR pediatric* OR paediatric* OR "internal medicine" OR "personal physician")

Nurse practitioners and physicians assistants can specialize.  However, if other search concepts specify remote geographic areas where specialists are less common, it might be safe to OR in terms for nurse practitioners and physician's assistants:

"nurse practitioner" OR "nurse practitioners" OR "advanced practice nurse" OR "advanced practice nurses" OR "physicians assistant" OR "physicians assistants" OR "physician assistant" OR "physician assistants" OR "physician's assistant" OR "physician's assistants"


For another search, I composed the following rough draft search:

"Community Health Services"[Mesh:NoExp] OR "Child Health Services"[Mesh:NoExp] OR "Community Health Nursing"[Mesh:NoExp] OR "Maternal Health Services"[Mesh] OR "Primary Health Care"[Mesh] OR "Primary Care Nursing"[Mesh] OR "Physicians, Primary Care"[Mesh] OR "preventive care"[tiab] OR "preventive healthcare" OR "preventive health care" OR "preventive medicine"[tiab] OR "primary care"[tiab] OR "family practice"[tiab] OR "family physician"[tiab] OR "family physicians"[tiab] OR "general practice"[tiab] OR "general practitioners"[tiab] OR "general practitioner"[tiab] OR generalist*[tiab] OR pediatrics[tiab] OR paediatrics[tiab] OR paediatrician*[tiab] OR pediatrician*[tiab] OR "internal medicine"[tiab] OR internist*[tiab] OR "personal physician"[tiab] OR paediatrics[tiab] OR paediatrician*[tiab] OR pediatrics[tiab] OR pediatrician*[tiab] OR gynaecologist*[tiab] OR gynecologist*[tiab] OR geriatrician*[tiab] OR gerontolog*[tiab] OR obstetric*[tiab] OR "prenatal care"[tiab] OR "perinatal care"[tiab] OR "post-partum care"[tiab] OR "maternal-child care" OR "pediatric nurse"[tiab] OR "paediatric nurse"[tiab] OR "obstetric nurse"[tiab]  OR "geriatric nurse"[tiab] OR "pediatric physician assistant" OR "paediatric physician assistant" OR "obstetric physician assistant" OR "geriatric physician assistant" OR "yearly physical exam" OR "yearly physical examination" OR "routine physical examination" OR "routine physical exam"
