Occupation Title : Physicians and Surgeons, All Other
Occupation Code : 29-1069
Job Description :
All physicians and surgeons not listed separately.
Method of Entry
Physicians and surgeons have demanding education and training requirements. Almost all physicians complete at least 4 years of undergraduate school, 4 years of medical school, and 3 to 8 years in internship and residency programs, depending on their specialty.
Many physicians work in private offices or clinics, often helped by a small staff of nurses and administrative personnel. Increasingly, physicians work in group practices, health care organizations, or hospitals where they share a large number of patients with other doctors. The group setting gives doctors backup coverage, allows them more time off, and lets them coordinate care for their patients, but it gives them less independence than solo practitioners have. Surgeons and anesthesiologists usually work in sterile environments while performing surgery and may stand for long periods. Many physicians and surgeons work long, irregular, and overnight hours. Physicians and surgeons may travel between their offices and hospitals to care for their patients. While on call, a physician may need to address a patient’s concerns over the phone or make an emergency visit to a hospital or nursing home
