The road to becoming a physician
Overview of the profession
Physicians serve in many capacities, spanning from primary care physicians who see a wide variety of patients to specialists; from researchers to active practitioners in the field. However, one common, linking thread between all types of doctors is the care they must exhibit for the welfare of humanity and the arduous requirements for entry into the profession. The American Association of Medical Colleges notes that medical school itself (embarked upon after undergraduate school) is four years in duration (The road to becoming a doctor, 2013, AAMC: 3). Year one is devoted to normal structure of body tissue; year two to abnormal structure; year three and four are clinical years in which the students gain experience in both primary and specialist care, enabling them to make a selection of specialty once they graduate (The road to becoming a doctor., 2013, AAMC:7). During this time period students take the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE) enabling them to practice. After students complete medical school, the new doctors prepare for their residency, usually through the National Resident Matching Program (The road to becoming a doctor, 2013, AAMC: 8). The residency and internship component of a physician's education can last from 3 to 8 years, depending on the field of specialty (Physicians and surgeons, 2013, BLS).

Independent Physicians The Dying Profession of Independent Physicians In the past, it has always been the case that physicians were, for the most part, independent contractors who had working agreements with certain hospitals in their region.
