General Physicians are highly trained specialists who provide a
range of non-surgical health care to adult patients. They care for difficult,
serious or unusual medical problems and continue to see the patient until these
problems have resolved or stabilized.
Much
of their work takes place with hospitalized patients and most general physicians also see patients in their consulting rooms.
Their
broad range of expertise differentiates General Physicians from other specialists who limit their medical
practice to problems involving only one body system or to a special area of
medical knowledge.
People
who are seeking medical care usually contact a general practitioner first. When a patient develops a serious
condition, a general practitioner may refer him or her to a specialist. A
specialist is a physician who has additional training and expertise in a specific
area of medicine (e.g., urology, cardiology,
oncology, neurology).
General
practitioners often work in private offices or clinics. In many cases, they are
assisted by a small staff of nurses and administrators. General practitioners also may be part of a large group practice or a
health maintenance organization (HMO).
