Healthcare and Economics: A Career as a Physician

2194 Words5 Pages

Before taking this class, I have always wondered how much money healthcare workers get. Yes, it depends on what profession you choose or look at, but I chose the profession of a Physician. I chose to write about this topic because I might want to be one when I grow up. I am also very excited to find out more information about Physicians.

Physicians often take care of people, they observe and listen. They are able to prescribe medication and send you to different check up areas. I find it very interesting that a Physician Assistant performs more tasks than an actual Physician, but gets payed less. In this research paper I will talk about if its worth spending so much money for education to be a Physician, who perform less tasks than many other healthcare workers.

In this research paper I will also cover the topics of salary, the job growth over years, Physician profit, and efficiency. I also would like to find out which state gives more money to Physicians and why. Then I would like to look into the demand for Physicians and their skills. I'd like to find out which country has the highest demand for them and why.

I think to be a physician you have to market yourself have a good reputation. I will find out how some of the Physicians become more valuable than others. I think this is an important thing to find out because Physicians with a better reputations will have higher salary, and a higher demand. I think it is very interesting to find out how some of the Physicians compete in the same area and even in the same work place.

...l above, I stated that Dr. Villarreal was doing everything to gain more patients and to keep his business going. Because Dr. Villarreal was doing things his way, other Physicians got worried because they started to think their patients will prefer to see him instead. (The New York Times)

I also would like to recommend for Physicians to advertise. This will let the patients know there's another Physician in town and patients will know his/her location. This information comes from a class discussion. In my opinion every business should advertise because letting others know about your information could never hurt. I also want to state that expensive healthcare is wrong. I think that because if someone can't afford healthcare (which is a lot of people) they shouldn’t be put in debt, they should be helped out and have it be affordable enough for their family's income.
