A
medical doctor, or a physician,
is a person who practices medicine. Medicine is a wide field
of study, and with the rapidly expanding knowledge of health,
illnesses, and disease; and the constant evolving of new treatment
methods and techniques, various specialties in medicine have
developed.
A doctor who has trained in one of these specialties becomes
a specialist. This takes a lot of hard work and a long time.
After receiving the basic medical degree from a medical school,
the training of a specialist begins in what is called a residency.
Resident physicians receive three to seven years of full-time
training in a hospital and/or ambulatory care settings, caring
for patients under the supervision of experienced specialists.
Educational conferences and research experience are often part
of that training. Some specialize in primary care as general
physicians, others concentrate on certain body parts and/or
systems, specific age groups, or complex diagnostic techniques,
and still others on treating specific types of disorders. A
further one or more years of full time education and training
in a specific area of that specialty, makes one a sub-specialist.
For example internal medicine is a specialty, and within this
specialty, cardiology is a sub-specialty.
Oahu, with its quality medical services, has specialized doctors
in each of the specialized fields of medicine. These highly
qualified and experienced doctors are capable of diagnosing
and treating just about any kind of ailment or medical problem
that you may have.
