PHYSICIAN
License Description Physicians diagnose and treat patients for disorders of the human body. They analyze test findings and reports to diagnose a patient's condition. Methods of treatment include surgery, X-rays, or pharmaceuticals. Physicians promote health by advising patients on diet, hygiene, and disease prevention. There are two types of physicians, the doctor of medicine (MD) and the doctor of osteopathy (DO). DOs believe in a system of medical practice based on a theory that diseases are due chiefly to loss of structural integrity, which can be restored by manipulation of the parts, supplemented by therapeutic measures.
