American physician

An American physician is a medical doctor who has completed extensive education and training to diagnose, treat, and prevent illnesses and injuries in patients. They typically hold a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree, which requires undergraduate studies followed by four years of medical school. After that, they complete a residency program specializing in a specific area of medicine, such as pediatrics, surgery, or internal medicine. Physicians can work in various settings, including hospitals, clinics, and private practices, and they often collaborate with other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive patient care.
