General practitioners usually work in private practice as individuals, teams, or groups; as well as in hospitals and clinics. Most specialist physicians work at hospitals. Doctors can also work in colleges, universities, insurance companies, and for various health initiatives and other organizations.
Doctors often work irregular hours and long shifts, often putting in more than 50 hours per week. Even when away from work, many doctors spend time being on-call in case of emergencies or shortages. They spend most of their time on their feet while examining patients, but also complete a lot of paperwork.
