Allopathic Physician (M.D)


Allopathic Physician (M.D)


Duties and Responsibilities:Physicians examine patients; obtain medical histories; order, perform and interpret diagnostic tests; and prescribe and administer treatment for people suffering from injury or disease.  They counsel patients about illness, injuries, health conditions and preventive healthcare (diet/fitness, smoking cessation, etc.). They can also conduct medical research, teach and run medical centers. 
Salary: $150,000 - $300,000
Education:” There are 126 allopathic medical schools in the United States, including three in Virginia (Medical College of Virginia, University of Virginia School of Medicine, and Eastern Virginia Medical School).  Most MD programs require 4 years of study, including emphasis on basic science, clinical work, and social science”. 


 
Reflection: Do you think you would like to be one? Why? Why not?
I would like to be one because it is a career in the medical field and because there is a high demand on this area, and also because they can consult patients by their own giving diets and healthcare.
