GP, Physicians who diagnose, treat, and help prevent diseases and injuries that
commonly occur in the general population. May refer patients to specialists
when needed for further diagnosis or treatment.
In the medical profession, a general physician or general
practitioner ('GP who treats acute and chronic illnesses and provides

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).
