Introduction:
For many, becoming a doctor is a lifelong ambition. For others,
it's a life-changing moment or experience that inspires you to
pursue a medical career.
But no matter who you are, where you live or what your
background is, anyone who has the ability, personal attributes and
motivation can apply to study medicine.
NATURE OF WORK
Medical doctors examine, diagnose and treat patients. They can
specialize in a number of medical areas, such as pediatrics,
anesthesiology or cardiology, or they can work as general practice
physicians. Becoming a medical doctor requires earning a
doctoral degree in medicine and participating in clinical rotations.
Duties and responsibilities
Doctors as clinical scientists apply the principles and procedures
of medicine to prevent, diagnose, care for and treat patients with
illness, disease and injury and to maintain physical and mental
health.
Working Conditions
Physicians generally work in clean, comfortable offices, clinics, or
hospitals. Those who have their own practices can control some
of their working conditions. Many physicians work long and
irregular hours. They must be available to handle emergencies.
Employment
Opportunities for those interested in becoming doctors are
expected to be very good. ... Doctors may be employed in the
following industries: Hotels and Restaurants, Public
Adminstration and Defense, Compulsory Social Security,
Education, and Health and Social Work.
Training , Qualifications and Advance
To become a doctor you need to complete a five-year degree in
medicine. Entry requirements vary, but to get on a medical
degree you normally need at least five GCSEs at grades A* or A,
including English and maths and at least grade B in science.
Job Outlook
Overall employment of physicians and surgeons is projected to
grow 7 percent from 2018 to 2028, faster than the average for all
occupations. Job growth is projected due to increased demand for
healthcare services by the growing and aging population.
Earnings
Doctors' earnings ranged from about $156,000 a year for
pediatricians to about $315,000 for radiologists and orthopedic
surgeons. The highest earners — orthopedic surgeons and
radiologists — were the same as last year, followed by cardiologists
who earned $314,000 and anesthesiologists who made $309,000.
