Duties and Responsibilities: Physicians generally evaluate patients when they complain of an illness or discomfort, or upon regular annual physical health assessments.  Although examination details differ depending on specialty, physicians initially interview a patient to discover ailment history and overall health history, and proceed to examine the patient looking for additional clues to the cause of the patient’s complaint.  Often additional medical tests are required, including blood work, to assess biochemical indicators of general health or specific diseases.  A physician often writes an order for a pharmaceutical for the patient to take to either alleviate symptoms or to treat the disorder.

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.
