These qualities help doctors to providemedical services in a timely and efficient manner. They are universal for all, despite the fact that there are many medical directions that differ from each other not only by the specific nature of the work, but also by its subject matter.

Specialties of doctors treating skin diseases

• The psychiatrist is engaged in pathology. He prescribes medicines that correct mental processes.

Specialties of doctors treating bone tissue

This group of specialists is engaged in the treatment of disorders of the musculoskeletal system and diseases of bone tissues.

• Orthopedist. It corrects violations in the musculoskeletal system: deformities in the shape of the foot, curvature of the posture, etc. Medications are less often prescribed by this doctor, the main methods of treatment are physical exercises (exercise therapy) and the use of orthopedic adaptations.
• Doctor dentist-surgeon (maxillofacial)is engaged not only in eliminating the pathologies of the jaw and teeth, but also treating the diseases of the mouth, border areas of the face, neck. This is a narrower specialization in dentistry. General dental practice is devoted to the treatment and prevention of dental caries, the elimination of problems caused by mechanical damage to teeth. The diseases that the dentist treats are not as specific as those that are eliminated by the maxillofacial surgeon.
• Rheumatologist. This doctor deals with the treatment of diseases that affect the joints and connective tissues.

• Allergist. This doctor does not cure a specific organ, but the specificity of his activity is related to a general examination of the body, special attention is paid to the digestive organs, since allergic reactions are often associated with abnormalities in the digestive tract.

The listed specialties are only a small partexisting spectrum of medical directions. They are some of the most common and quite specific, but nevertheless, these experts are being asked to know not only the narrow medical direction (because many diseases affect several systems and organs simultaneously), but also the possession of complex information.
