Hold a medical licence that is limited only by specialization; some serve as PCP.

• A. Physician (MD)
• B. Physician (DO)
• C. Physician (DC)
• D. Physician (DPM)

Answer: (A)

Licensure and scope of practice for physicians. Holding a medical license not limited to a single specialty means the physician can practice across many areas of medicine after appropriate training, and many work as primary care clinicians. An MD (Doctor of Medicine) represents this broad medical licensure: after medical school and residency, MDs are licensed to treat patients in general internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics, or pursue various specialties. That broad ability to care for patients in primary care settings fits the statement about a license limited only by specialization and includes serving as a primary care physician.

Chiropractors (DC) and podiatrists (DPM) have licenses that confer practice in much narrower domains, and while a DO (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine) is also a physician with broad training, the description most directly aligns with the allopathic MD credential.
