It is important to highlight the unique skills of family physicians and explore how best to build up the basic competencies from undergraduate to postgraduate level. A system of certification for family physicians is needed but we must take into account the historical development of Family Medicine in Hong Kong. The certification system must be reasonable in assuring basic standards. It should also be possible for all practicing primary care physicians to achieve without great difficulty. One should use the concept of professional development for doctors already in practice to achieve the basic competencies in Family Medicine. The family physicians must be well positioned in the health care delivery system and the future system should enable them to be more directly involved in chronic disease management, preventive health services and health promotion activities. All these initiatives need to be put in action as soon as possible. 最近關於我們衛生服務系統未來服務模式的討論文章強調了家庭醫生的重要性。 強調家庭醫生的獨特技能以及如何將基本能力從本科水平提高到研究生水平， 是很重要的。我們要有一個家庭醫生的認證系統，但我們必須考慮到香港家庭醫學的發展歷史。 認證系統必須確保有合理的基本標準，同時又能讓所有執業的基層醫生不太困難地達到這些標準。 我們應該利用專業發展的概念，讓已經執業的醫生達到家庭醫學的基本能力。 家庭醫生必須在衛生服務提供系統中佔有合適的位置；未來的系統也應使他們能更直接地參與慢性病管理、 預防衛生服務和健康促進活動。所有這些想法都需要儘快付諸行動。兩個論壇的報告。enjournal article
