Allopathic physician

                                           Allopathic Physician (M.D.)

Duties and responsibilities: Allopathic physicians are carefully trained to diagnose and treat illnesses. They prescribe medicine, perform surgery, and practice in specialty areas. They also work alongside osteopathic doctors and they have similar functions but not identical.

Salary: $500,000-$600,000 a year.

Education: It takes four years to obtain a degree in allopathic medicine. After they graduate their residency begins and takes 3-7 years depending on the field they have chosen.

Reflection: I might want to be an allopathic physician because they don’t just specialize in one area of the medical field. I believe that they won’t get bored in one area so they can experiment. They also have a wider range as to what they might want to do.
