General Practitioners are specialists in consulting, examining, and advising their patients, before diagnosing and treating their health problems through prescribing medicines, minor surgeries, or referring them to specialists.
From registrars to senior roles, a general practitioner can earn between $81,000 – $200,000 a year.
Oftentimes, general practitioners work regular business hours, depending on the practice with some on-call duty and weekends.
Becoming a general practitioner requires 12 years of training.
