Welcome to Physicians.com.au, Australia's leading Medical Directory
Physicians are medical doctors that seek to restore health through the study, diagnosis and treatment of different diseases, conditions and injuries. They are typically interested in the scientific application of medicine, which can include any number of therapies from pharmaceuticals to surgery.
Because of the wide scope, technological nature and need for specific knowledge, the types of physicians commonly available has become quite large, and there are now many different branches of medicine that attract physicians. From psychiatry to neurology, there are physicians working to improve almost any aspect of health you can imagine.
Physicians undertake a lengthy and arduous process to become qualified in their field, and it normally involves years of tertiary education and further internships and practice before becoming fully qualified. It typically takes five to eight years for most physicians to gain a medical degree, and there are normally several more years of supervised practice before full registration is conferred upon a physician.
