Osteopathic Physician, D.O.
Duties and responsibilities:
Osteopathic Physicians diagnose and treat injuries and diseases. They study the importance of the musculoskeletal system, holistic medicine, proper nutrition, and environmental factor in maintaining good health. They work primarily in osteopathic hospitals or private practice, however many allopathic hospitals now accept osteopathic physicians as staff members. The majority of osteophats are general practitioners, family practitioners, or emergency medicine specialists.
Average Salary: $110,000
Educational requirements:
Students should take the most challenging high school courses available in science, math, and English.
After three or four years of college, prospective physicians must attend medical school. Undergraduate requirements for admission to all medical schools include one year of basic chemistry, one year of organic chemistry, one year of biology, and one year of physics. Some medical schools also require course work in calculus, English, the humanities, or social science.
Medical school usually includes two years of additional study in both basic and clinical sciences and is followed by a year-long hospital internship. Physicians who want to specialize must then undertake a three-year residency in their specialty.
I don't want to be an osteopathic physician because i don't like to work with bones but i find this career interesting and the salary is elevated. I think this career is fun and i would like to see a classroom of osteopathic physicians.
