Doctors Always on hand to prolong life

As a doctor deals with the prevention, detection and treatment of diseases. Due to the large number of different disease patterns, the professional profile is divided into a variety of different specialties.

What are the tasks?

As a doctor, you examine patients and diagnose diseases. You determine the type and duration of treatment and document its course. Preventive examinations and various partly surgical interventions are also part of a doctor's duties. In addition, doctors discuss with their patients what treatment options are available and to what extent preventive measures can be taken.

What are the requirements?

To be able to practice as a doctor, the study of human medicine has always been mandatory. The average length of university studies is 12 semesters, i.e. just under 6 years. Within the university studies, students receive a practical training of one year. This is followed by training to become a general practitioner or a specialist. General practitioners undergo 9 months of basic training and must then complete at least 33 months of training within an accredited training facility. Specialists also receive 9 months of basic practical training and must then complete at least 63 months of training in their chosen specialty. After completing their training, doctors are required to undertake further training.

Physicians place themselves in the service of health and are bound to ethical and moral principles within their actions. In addition, they are subject to state supervision of the license (license to practice), which can be withdrawn in case of misconduct. In addition to extensive theoretical knowledge, physicians also require special skills for personal interaction with patients. As a doctor, you should be empathetic, flexible and attentive. Due to serious cases of illness and long, strenuous working hours, you should be very resilient and stress-resistant and always maintain confidentiality and discretion.
