Physician · Training now runs to roughly a decade past secondary school in m

Training now runs to roughly a decade past secondary school in most countries, and pay, licensing and status vary enormously by nation — a hospital consultant in England, a private internist in the United States and a rural general practitioner in India do the same job differently.

Physician · What is the difference between a physician and a surgeon?

A physician diagnoses and manages illness through examination, testing and medication, typically following a patient over months or years. A surgeon treats disease or injury by operating, usually for a single well-defined episode of care.
