Great question!
All doctors take an oath to heal others. However, what they do depends on what they specialize in.
In general doctors learn about anatomy, physiology, pathology, microbiology, pharmacology, and many other subjects to ultimately be able to help people recover and heal from illness and/or disease.
It takes many years of study beyond college to become a doctor, but if you prepare properly, you can also become a doctor.
There are several things you can do to find out more. See the steps below.
Good luck!

Richard’s Answer
I am a radiologist. There are multiple subspecialties in Radiology, so each of my partners daily work is quite different. I am an Interventional radiologist. I spend about half my time looking at Medical Imaging ( CT, x-ray, ultrasound, and MRI) to diagnose diseases. The other half of my time is spent performing procedures. We use ultrasound, CT, and x-ray to guide various Tools into different parts of the body to diagnose and treat illness. We can open and close arteries and veins as necessary. We also inject radiation and chemotherapy directly into tumors.
