Specialist physicians practise in a defined branch of medicine (cardiology, oncology, paediatrics, and many others) assessing referred patients and managing conditions that need depth rather than breadth. Work is typically split between clinics, inpatient rounds, procedures or investigations, and multidisciplinary meetings. Teaching and supervising trainees is usually part of the role.

Clinical psychologists assess and treat psychological distress and disorder using structured assessment and evidence-based talking therapies. A distinctive part of the role is formal psychometric and neuropsychological assessment, which few other professions do. Training is long and competitive, and much of the work is emotionally demanding one-to-one contact.

The role carries legal responsibilities in many jurisdictions, including assessments related to involuntary treatment. Risk assessment and the management of uncertainty are constant features of the work.
