médecine générale / general practice


Explanation:
From the context I'm really not sure, but the term "médecine générale" could fit. 'MG' crops up in many medical documents to mean this. See eg

"Le MG est le médecin de première ligne en pathologie pédiatrique ; dédramatiser la prise en charge pédiatrique en MG." from www.medgen.ulg.ac.be/documents_site_dumg/progenseig0506.doc

Explanation:
I've seen MG used as an acronym for monoglycerides, not sure how "la pratique de [monoglycerides]" would fit in....
