To accomplish their primary goal of providing care to sick and injured patients as well as maintaining the health of all patients, Medical Doctors perform several tasks. We have reviewed several job listings and found the following among the core Medical Doctor duties and responsibilities.
A main responsibility of a Medical Doctor is to evaluate patients who have illnesses or injuries. This would involve ordering diagnostic tests and interpreting the results of these tests to determine what illness a patient has or the extent of a specific injury, such as a broken bone or concussion. Medical Doctors discuss test finding with patients.
Once a diagnosis has been made, it is the responsibility of the Medical Doctor to prescribe medication or treatment plans to address the patient’s condition. Medical Doctors determine the course of treatment, such as how much medication should be taken over a prescribed amount of time or how long an injured limb should be rested or placed in a cast. Medical Doctors arrange for as many follow-up visits as they deem necessary to restore the patient to full health. Medical Doctors might also make referrals for patients whom they cannot treat and are in need of specialized care.
