the general population. May refer patients to specialists when needed for
further diagnosis or treatment.
In the medical profession, a general physician or general

of development, which may require urgent intervention.
General Physicians are
highly trained specialists who provide a range of non-surgical health care to
adult patients. They care for difficult, serious or unusual medical problems
and continue to see the patient until these problems have resolved or
stabilized.
Much of their work takes place with hospitalized patients and
most general physicians also see patients in their consulting
rooms.
Their broad range of expertise differentiates General Physicians from other specialists who limit their medical practice to
problems involving only one body system or to a special area of medical
knowledge.
People who are seeking medical care usually contact a general practitioner first.
When a patient develops a serious condition, a general practitioner may refer
him or her to a specialist. A specialist is a physician who has additional
training and expertise in a specific area of medicine (e.g., urology, cardiology, oncology, neurology).
General practitioners often work in private offices or
clinics. In many cases, they are assisted by a small staff of nurses and
administrators. General practitioners also may be part of a large group
practice or a health maintenance organization (HMO).
