How is it like to work with physicians?

Depends.  You *do* need to stoke their egos a bit.  They went through a lot of training to be where they are now.  Be prepared!!!  Know the terminology and basics of the job/task at hand.  Some doctors don't like being interrupted to be asked "definition-type" questions, they assume you already know medical terminology or disease acronyms.  Don't touch things without asking, lots of tools must be kept sterile.

I am not a doctor, but both my parents are, so although I can not give you a first-hand perspective, I can tell you that it is extremely demanding. My parents worked from 7am-9pm including weekends for the first years of their medical profession (more when they were interns and residents). Their schedule got to be a bit more flexible with time, but it requires 10 years and more to establish yourself as a recognized doctor and build a practice. You must constantly attend conferences and seminars and keep yourself updated with new research findings, practices, pharmaceuticals, etc. It's very demanding and unless you love it - unless it's your calling, I don't recommend it. But if this is really what you want to do, go for it and make it happen.

Eek. Doctors have to work all the time. They even have to work on christmas. They work in hospitals or in small little offices. They should never develope a relationship with their patients. There are many kinds of doctors. ER Doctors work specificially in the Emergency Room, doctors who give birth, doctors who give shots, etc. They must wash their hand for 2 minutes after helping someone. They must be very clean. They can't turn a patient down. If your teacher wants you to be specific then you should say which kind of doctor you prefer to be. A doctor who gets involved in lots of blood or a doctor who puts bandaides on a little boy who fell of his skateboard.

If you are thinking about becoming a doctor you need to know that it is a tough road but if you make it to the end it can be a rewarding career.  Now as far as telling you about doctors and their tools it depends on what type of doctor you are talking about because there are all kinds of doctors and tons of different tools that they use.  So to sum it all up I don't want to give you the best answer I want to give you an accurate one.  And this would be it.  Doctors have a spectrum of fields that they are into and they all have unique instruments such as a OB/GYN doctor uses speculum's to do pelvic exams.  A neurologist uses an EKG machine to measure electronic waves in the body.  A cardiologist use a scalpel to cut into the heart and sometimes uses laser surgery to remove plaque from the heart.  I hope I have helped you.

as a student, they are not looking for any sort of 'professional clinical experience'...unless you were say, a registered nurse (RN), or nurse practitioner turning to medicine. what they are looking for, are activities like volunteering in hospitals to speak to families, counseling, or just interacting with sick children...in fact, these volunteer activities, are much more advantagious than working in a doctor's office..im sorry to say. \n\nbasically, by commiting time formally in a hospital setting as a volunteer, you are showing: commitment, compassion, selflessness, motivation etc. to the interview committee...which is what they want to see

Could you be more specific?\n1)From the health insurance perspective, there is NO CRISIS as\nthey are raking in the dough. They hardly pay anything to the physcians. So they keep more of the premiums you pay every month.They do their best to make your coverage as confusing as possible, so you won't know what they will pay for. Then when they don't pay for something, you can't talk to anyone at the insurance company that wants to help you. \n2)From the Doctor's point of view, it is harder and harder to provide quality health care to their patient's. They need to have the latest most up to date equipment to diagnose and treat their patient's. There is a lot of overhead to pay for. To get enough payment from the insurance companies to cover the overhead, they have to see a ton of patient's every day. This results in not being able to spend enough quality time with each patient......   \n3) From the patients point of view, it is all very confusing. The insurance companies tell you one thing, your doctor's office tells you something else. Just when you build a relationship with your doctor, your insurance changes, and you have to find a different doctor that is with that insurance company. There is no consistency to your\nmedical care that way.\nHow do we solve this? Good question. I don't have the answers, but also find it all very frustrating. You have to know how to work the system to get the health care you need.

You make them both sound very promising.But both jobs have pros and cons....agreed,a doctor occupation makes u feel good about urself that you have helped someone get better.\nArchitect is less about other people,its about wat we like to do.More or less,both jobs will need dedication,but the doctor seems to have an edge over itself as you  can get resruited by any major hospitals but architects??never hear alot of them happening.So we have to make a name for ourselves.\nNone of them is easy,they both require dediaction and hard work.Decide properly and NEVER look back...... \n\n\nby the way,i hope i can answer ur questions now.

The average Doc in-a Box is usually administered by a nurse practitioner or similar profesional. The practice and care is only as good as the personnel within.

the medical field is a very demanding job, both rewarding mentally and physically.but YOU make the job happy. Have you ever gone to the pharmacist/drug store where the personal are happy?

i think its ok for dr.s to work part time, not necessarily one day a month though.\n\nthings are getting crazy for doctors, especially primary care physicians. all medications need to go through them, medicare has new requirements for information for coverage, everything needs to be documented in writing on top of seeing patients for everyday health concerns and checkups.\n\nthe doctor i work for is in the office all day, rounds at the hospital in the morning and afternoon, covers for his partner two days a week, and is more than 4 months behind on documentation and paperwork. if he only worked 3 or 4 days a week, he could have a day or two to catch up on all the adminstrative bull and be more able to focus on the patients.\n\njust to keep his hand in... haha... maybe that gyno needs a girlfriend.

Hi, Yes they work just as well if not better.  They are the choice of doctors and hospitals prior to surgery. They are easier and less messy and just as thorough..

It varies.  What specialty?  What subspecialty?  What region of the country?  How much do they work ? (part-time, full-time, or double that?) How much experience do they have?  How much ancillary staff do they have to pay?  What is their malpractice premium?\n\nFew doctors are in it for the money.  There are MUCH easier ways to get rich.

Lots of advantages, depending on your viewpoint, but these are the disadvantages I see:\n1. Really sick kids, as in critically ill children. You have to be able to separate yourself from that. \n2. You're often on-call EVERY night - unless you're in a big enough group that alternates call. \n3. Primary care doctors (pediatricans, GPs, Internal medicine, etc.) are often low on the HMO food chain, so if you're going into medicine for the money, become a specialist. \nGood luck!

There is no single formula of approach for all doctors. It would help to classify them according to personality, in this way you'd know how to "treat" each one of them.\n\nThere are a lot of doctor personalities. A lot would appreciate frank friendship, and this would be the best as it allows you to go into relational selling.\n\nSome like to preach to medreps - and you just have to listen to them as they just like having someone listen to them.\n\nSome just choose through price bids - this is not a desirable relationship with the doc.\n\nSome MRs dont notice this but there are docs that like to be "commanded".\n\nThe key is to determine their personalities and be versatile so you can adapt to each of them - and this requires a lot of study and practice if it doesn't come to you naturally.\n\nDetailing and business - your going about it all wrong - its the last thing they want to hear from you. Its how you build your relationship with them.

Typically the behind the scenes daily operation of the clinic/facility they're working at. Strategic vision for the clinic/facility.  Budgeting process.  Personnel.  Human resources.\nit really depends upon how large/type of facility it is.  A physician outpatient clinic will differ significantly from a hospital, etc.
