A general practitioner or GP is a medical practitioner who provides primary care and specializes in family medicine. A general practitioner treats acute and chronic illnesses and provides preventive care and health education for all ages and both sexes. They have particular skills in treating people with multiple health issues and comorbidities.
The term general practitioner or GP is common in Ireland, the United Kingdom, and several other Commonwealth countries. In these countries the word physician is largely reserved for certain other types of medical specialists, notably in internal medicine.
All medical practitioners must hold a license to practice medicine in the United States. The only requirement is that the physician be enrolled in or have completed a year of training, more commonly called a rotating internship. There is generally 4 years of undergraduate college and 4 years of medical school prior to the internship. All licensed medical practitioners who do not complete a three-to ten-year residency, are legally allowed to practice medicine in the state within which they are licensed.
