Doctor Job Description

Most people think of a Doctor of Medicine (MD) when they hear the word doctor, although there are academic degrees, such as a Ph.D., that also confer the title of doctor. Physicians with research interests may earn both an MD and a Ph.D., enabling them to treat patients and immerse themselves in laboratory studies. The AAMC indicates that joint MD/Ph.D. programs can be found at 125 accredited institutions.
Primary care physicians spend their days seeing patients, observing symptoms, running tests, diagnosing conditions, prescribing medication and implementing treatment plans. Suggestions are offered for disease prevention and healthy living. Referrals are made to specialists when additional tests and specialized care are needed.
Depending on their specialty, doctors focus their practice on helping patients with certain illnesses, such as heart disease or conditions like pregnancy. There are many types of doctors that complete additional schooling to attain specialization, including:

• 
  Allergists
