Duties
and responsibilities:
An allopathic physician is a medical doctor who treats
disorders and injuries by using methods aimed at counteracting the problems.
For example, an allopathic physician will prescribe antibiotics to treat a
bacterial infection.
Allopathic physicians rely on patented pharmaceutical drugs,
radiation and surgery to treat their patients. This type of medical doctor will
only use allopath and will tend to avoid the use of non-allopathic or alternative
medicine. Alternative to allopathic medicine are naturopathic medicine and
holistic medicine.
Salary: $93,000- $105,000
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.
Reflection: Do you think you would
like to be one? Why? Why not?
No I wouldn’t like to be one because I do not want to study
that.
