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.  People with medical education are in demand in many areas. 

Salary; $100,000 - $275,000

Education; Most MD programs require 4 years of study, including emphasis on basic science, clinical work, and social science. The first two years of most programs are generally aimed at classroom learning of basic science as it relates to medicine.  Subsequent years of most programs then focus on clinical training.

Reflection; I would like to study about, find more information about how we can see more inside the body. What would it be like to have someone being cut up and see what’s the problem.
