Allopathic
Physician (M.D.)
Duties and Responsibilities:
Medicine is the broad field pertaining to all of human health. Common work encountered depends on one’s field of specialization: it may be general, seeing patients as
an initial contact with respect to a health issue, or very specialized, seeing
a patient only after referral from a general or family physician. There are two
broad approaches to medicine, allopathic and osteopathic. Allopathic medicine treats disease by the use of remedies that
produce effects different than those produced by the disease. Also called conventional medicine, and practiced by physicians
with an MD degree, allopathic medicine focuses on treating a specific ailment,
often by use of pharmaceuticals and surgery.

for allopathic
physician jobs is

location, industry, experience and benefits.

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.
