In general, they perform examinations of patients, diagnose illnesses, educate patients and treat disease and injury. Physicians are practitioners of medicine. They devote their entire career to learning about providing care for their patients with new technologies, equipment, techniques and medications. There are two types of physicians: the doctor of medicine (MD) and the doctor of osteopathic medicine (DO). MDs and DO's may practice general medicine or concentrate on a medical specialty. They work as leaders and coordinators of the health care team, referring patients to appropriate resources for care and services and overseeing the practice of other health care providers. |
