Allopathic Physician

Duties and responsibilities: Allopathic doctors are also called medical doctors and are responsible for diagnosing and treating conditions that can affect the human body. They diagnose the bodies’ conditions by using tests, examinations, and prescribing medication based on what the patient has. They perform checkups and they usually work long hours in clinics or hospitals.

Salary: 50,868-179,500

Education: In order to become an Allopathic physician, you need a four year Bachelor’s degree in Biology, Chemistry or any related field. You must complete another four years of medical school after your four years of college. You will also need a residency program from about 3-8 years. You need to pass a state medical licensing exam before entering the residency program. After the residency program, you must take an exam in order to gain certification.

Reflection: I wouldn't want to be an Allopathic physician because in order to become one you must go to school for a long time and by the time you do finish school you will be old and may not get a good job because of your age. Also you usually work in clinics or hospitals and I don’t like being in hospitals or clinics. It would be nice to help people with their medical problems but I don’t think this is a good job for me.
