General Physicians

A doctor who provides relief to patients suffering from acute and chronic diseases and also educates them on matters related to health and preventive healthcare is known as a general physician.

A general physician does not specialize in any medical condition, disease or its treatment, rather he can treat a varied range of maladies like fever, cough, cold, chicken-pox, measles etc.

A general physician treats all the diseases within the reach of his knowledge and expertise and he refers patients suffering from serious and life threatening illnesses associated with a specific body organ to a specialist.

A general physician may sometimes be associated with gynecological responsibilities such as delivering a baby in rural areas and in developing countries.

It takes approximately 5-8 years of study and research for a person to become a general physician.
