The AAFP website has an article entitled “14 Alternative Practice Styles.” The article is several years old but still relevant in its description of alternative practice and non-clinical options for family practitioners. The author, James M. Giovino, MD, states that “the opportunities for family physicians are endless, meaning you don’t have to feel stuck in your current career path.
