Osteopathic Physician

Duties and Responsibilities: They use accepted methods of diagnosing and treating injuries and diseases. Osteopaths use a hands-on approach to medicine and frequently manipulate or palpate as part of diagnosis and treatment.

Salary: $110,000

Education: After 3 or 4 years in college, prospective physicians must attend medical school. Undergraduate requirements for admission to all medical schools include one year of basic chemistry, one year of organic chemistry, one year of biology, and one year of physics. Some medical schools require work in calculus, English, the humanities, or social science. Medical school usually includes two years of additional study in both basic and clinical sciences and is followed by a year-long hospital internship.  Physicians who want to specialize must then undertake a three-year residency in their specialty.

Reflection: I would like to be an Osteopathic physician because they get paid really good and it sounds like an interesting career.
