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.
