Even if you're just a weekend warrior, it's smart to work closely with your doctor to get the greatest benefit from your activities. Don't hesitate to ask questions about performance, limitations, and long-range training in order to achieve your goals.

What are physician scientists? These are MDs who have chosen to devote their work to research instead of clinical work. These professionals are among the most important in medicine as their work is what drives innovation and propels the medical field forward.

A physician who chooses to become a reconstructive plastic surgeon may opt to sub-specialize in different aspects of the field. Depending on what holds his or her interest, such a doctor could get into trauma, breast reconstruction, hand and limb surgery or even aesthetic surgery.

While a general practitioner will be able to treat your child's cough, they will have to point you towards a pediatrician if the case turns out to be more serious. Given a GP's training however, they will be able to give detailed descriptions of the issue, thus giving the pediatrician a head start.

Children are special so they require a different set of medical professionals to treat their illnesses. Pediatrics is the umbrella these MDs fall under and within it are specialties like oncology, pulmonology, critical care and psychiatry, among others.
