What is the job description for a internist?
the Internist job description is broad in scope. General internists diagnose and provide non-surgical treatment for diseases and injuries of internal organ systems. They provide care mainly for adults who have a wide range of problems associated with the internal organs, such as the stomach, kidneys, liver, and digestive tract. Internists use a variety of diagnostic techniques to treat patients through medication or hospitalization. Like general practitioners, general internists are commonly looked upon as primary care specialists. Included in the internist job description is the subtitle of "family practice" in many cases. They have patients referred to them by other specialists, in turn referring patients to those and yet other specialists when more complex care is required.
Physicians and surgeons serve a fundamental role in our society and have an effect upon all our lives. They diagnose illnesses and prescribe and administer treatment for people suffering from injury or disease. Physicians examine patients, obtain medical histories, and order, perform, and interpret diagnostic tests. They counsel patients on diet, hygiene, and preventive health care.
There are two types of physicians: M.D.-Doctor of Medicine-and D.O.-Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. M.D.s also are known as allopathic physicians. While both M.D.s and D.O.s may use all accepted methods of treatment, including drugs and surgery, D.O.s place special emphasis on the body's musculoskeletal system, preventive medicine, and holistic patient care. D.O.s are more likely than M.D.s to be primary care specialists although they can be found in all specialties. About half of D.O.s practice general or family medicine, general internal medicine, or general pediatrics.

3) try to eat fish once a week (for omega 3s)

Yes, Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) are medical physicians and can practice medicine or go into academia just like Doctors of Medicine (M.D.). Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine and Doctors of Medicine are both full-fledged physicians trained in the United States who attend four years of medical school and are eligible to specialize in any field of medicine after residency training.
Additionally, both DOs and MDs may sit for board certification examinations and each type of physician has the same legal and medical responsibilities such as prescribing medications, performing surgery, working in the hospital, medical diagnosis, etc. The difference between a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine and Doctor of Medicine is a slight one-Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine, in addition to the standard medical curriculum, receive 300-500 hours of instruction in a form of manual therapy known as osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM). This form of therapy is another approach sometimes used by DOs to address a patient's musculoskeletal issues.

Is a DO certification better then MD for doctors?
It's not that one is better than the other, it's just a different approach to patient care. Both are equivalent.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Certainly most DOs would rather have the MD title. The DO took the MCAT and the college credits and did well and could most likely get into a DO or MD school, but got into a DO school and, thus, now has to have the DO title. With all the Carribean MD schools and worldwide MD is known as medical doctors, it would be best if the DO would change its title to MD,DO (Medical Doctor, Diplomate of Osteopathy). The old aging banal dumb asses in the AOA don't want to change this DO degree to MD,DO. They should, especially with the new rising of the mid level Nurse Practioner to Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). These DNPs are going to dominate in the future and have their own practices with full prescribing rights to all meds, including narcotics. If the DOs don't change their title in MD,DO, these DNPs are going to be a major competitor in the marketplace.
The following is written by and according to the U.S. Department of Labor and particular to the job outlook for nurses. Overall job opportunities for registered nurses are expected to be excellent, but may vary by employment and geographic setting. Employment of RNs is expected to grow much faster than the average for all occupations through 2016 and, because the occupation is very large, many new jobs will result. In fact, registered nurses are projected to generate 587,000 new jobs, among the largest number of new jobs for any occupation. Additionally, hundreds of thousands of job openings will result from the need to replace experienced nurses who leave the occupation.
