1) 4 years of pre-med at college\n2) 4 years of Medical School\n3) It is best to be board certified in pathology, though this is not an absolute necessity, it can be in another field of medicine. A one year internship plus residency time plus board certification time is about another 5 years . \nIn some place, the position of medical examiner is appointed, while in other places it is an elected position.

Registered Pharmacists (RPh) must have a PharmD or similar degree from a accredited college of pharmacy and must register with the state pharmacy board in the state that they will practice in, some states require examinations and continuing education and states differ on how long a licence is good for.\n\nCertified Pharmacy Technicians (CPhTs) have to pass a exam given by the Pharmacy Technician Certification Board and have to meet continuing education requirements as well as be licenced in the state that they are practicing in. Different states give different weight to CPhT status. Some states require it to practice as a technician, others do not require Certification to be a licenced technician but do allow CPhTs to perform tasks that licenced but non-nationally certified technicians are not allowed to do.

Generally you have to pass a State Board of Education Certification test, which are given about 4 or 5 times each year. You also will most likely need to go through a college or university education program. Check with your local board of education and state board of education for all specific requirements for your home state.

First you need to go to college and get your Medical School Requirements met. These usually include:  8 hours of General Biology (including labs); 8 hours of General Chemistry (again, including labs); 6 hours of Organic Chemistry (usually three is only an Orgo 2 lab-not a lab for orgo 1); 8 hours of Physics (including labs); Calculus I (only 3 med schools require Calc 2); Statistics I is suggested by many Medical schools; 4 hours Biochemistry (including lab); and then depending upon what Medical School you wish to get into, there are usually other science courses, usually some genetics and microbiology that Medical Schools look for. Upon completeing the required college classes you must take a standardized test called the MCAT, which is an admission test for Medical Schools that tests on the courses listed above. It is much like the SAT is for college and university admission.\n\nMost medical schools accept about 24-28ish MCAT scores and a 3.5 GPA from the collgee level work. In addition, they look for people that genuinely care for their community and show it with volunteer activities and dedication. Getting into Med School alone is very tricky.\n\nOnce in Medical School, you complete 2 years of book learning, and then do rotations with doctors in a hospital in many different medical areas. While you may be sure that you want to go into pediatrics, you must complete these rounds with satisfactory grades from the Doctors to proceed to your Internship. In your internship, you will begin to specialize within your field of medicine. If you did not recieve good enough grades from the pediatrician you rounded with, you will not be allowed to go into that field of medicine. You are an Intern for about a year, and then you are a resident for a number of years following that, until you have learned enough to be on your own.\n\nIt's a long path, but if you are determined and focused enough, it's very rewarding. Best of Luck!

here's what I could find.\n\nEffective June 2004 it will be required that students who wish to be certified as public accountants must pass all parts of the CPA exam and complete at least a 150 credit hours of college course work.  \n\n \n\n·        The 150 credits should include: 36 credit hours of accounting courses in which 30 must be upper division and include 30 credit hours of business related courses.   \n\n \n\n·        One year of work experience is required for certification.

you need to be certified through an accredited program and then take the required state tests to be state certified.  private schools can differ from public, though.

I am a recent nurse graduate.  I attended a associate degree program in nyc.  Now I am entitled to take the NCLEX, which is the exam which you need to pass in able to become a Registered Nurse or you can say "RN" which is just an abbreviation or nurse.  The more technical term is Registered Nurse.  The hospital volunteer guy is wrong.  \n \n So, that's a registered nurse, you have to have a degree, either 2 year, which is associates, 4 year, bachelors which is the best minimum education a nurse should have, and extra 2 to however many for a nurse practitioner.  An associates degree is still acceptable and I am able to take the same test as a bachelor graduate, but more  education is better.  Some facilities don't take associates degree, just some though.\n  \n As a nurse practitioner, you will have a specialty, many of them to choose from such as family NP, pediatric NP, Psych NP, etc.  You are able to prescribe meds, just as the others have said.  NP's usually work with an MD.  Some states allow NP's to work independently, meaning you can have your own Nurse practitioner clinic, like a doctor's clinic.  NP's are still RN's so they do bedside care as well.  NP's usually have a higher salary.  Other types of higher educ. RN's are midwives and nurse anesthetists.    \n  \n There are soooooooo many Nursing types.  Some of them still surprises me, like forensic nursing.  Nurses do paperwork and patient care.  If you want you can just do paper work and be a manager or you can just be with patients all the time.\n   Consider Nursing, hope I helped you.  If you want anymore info, just ask.   oh yeah you do clinicals in the hospitals , etc  ...like residency, and DON'T do online programs, u still have to go to clinicals anyway and it won't be as beneficial as the classroom experience and online programs for this major are probably still not approved by your state nursing board and also employers will question ur education.

The AMA is simply a society of doctors.  What your friend needs to check is if he is board certified for his specialty.  Board certification means the doctor has completed post-residency training in his specialty and has passed rigorous examinations.  For something as important as spinal surgery I would only see a Board Certified doctor.

The only way to answer this question is through experience.  I recommend volunteering with your family doctor or at a local emergency room.  Becoming a physician is very hard, and takes years and years of committment, blood, sweat and tears in addition to money.  \n\nGetting into medical school is difficult, requiring an individual to excel in many science courses and do well on a very difficult exam - the MCAT.  Many of one's college friends will be having fun while the student must study.\n\nMedical school itself is also very difficult, requiring a great deal of studying and personal sacrifice.  The exams are rigorous and the pace is fast during the first two years.  During the last two years one must go through a blinding array of rotations to learn the basics on the fly.\n\nBut the most difficult part follows medical school.  Residency is specialized training lasting from 3-7 years where one may find themself working days on end without a break.  Residents can put in up to 80 hours - or more - in a week and teeter on the brink of exhaustion, with no break in sight for YEARS.\n\nEven once one is a true, board certified physician, the fun doesn't end.  One must repay debts of potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars while struggling to pay skyrocketing malpractice insurance premiums and receiving less and less for their services due to managed care.\n\nOh, yeah, and imagine trying to do all this stuff while trying to foster a marraige and raise a family.\n\nBut, if it is your calling, saving and improving the lives of people is the most rewarding endeavor one can undertake.  The only way one can find out is to see it firsthand.

Are you a medical student? Are you a foreign grad attempting to get a residency in the United States? Have you taken all 3 Steps? I don't understand your question.

You need a medical degree, so 4 years undergrad (2 years if you're in a combined 6 year program) and 4 years of medical school.  Then after medical school, another 4 years of residency.  Some radiologists opt to go for an additional fellowship after the residency, but it's a minimum of 10-12 years of education after high school.  \n\nIf you already have your undergraduate degree, you may have to go back to school to complete premed requirements like organic chem.  If you are in high school, an accelerated 6 year medical program is an option if you have a good academic record.

it all depends on what the employer wants.  I am a certified database administrator, and some employers say it is "a plus" others say it is required. My experience has been that certification isn't worth much without real experience.  I've interviewed certified DBAs that don't know squat, and hired uncertified DBAs that had the experience to do the job. many of the certification exams follow the coursework exactly, so often times people will take the class take the test, take the class take the test, and pass without really knowing what they are doing.

In order to be a psychiatrist you need to attend an tradtional college/university and earn a BA or BS.  Then you need to make sure that you have the required prerequisite classes for medical school which is inorganic chemistry I and II, organic chemistry I and II, physics I and II, biology I and II, 6-9 gredit hours of english/ english lit..  And some schools require that an applicant has calculus and 3-9 hours of behavioral sciences.  And don't forget to take the MCAT, have good recommendations, maybe volunteer at a hospital etc..  Then apply to medical school in which  you will earn either a MD or DO depending on what program you want to be in.  (A psychiatrist has earned either an MD or DO.)  After you graduate from medical school, you need to enter a psychiatry residency (I don't know how long the residency program lasts, maybe 2-3 years?).  But, if you want to be a psychologist, you still need a BA or BS and then go to gradtuate school for psychology and earn a PhD. \n\nBe careful not to confuse a psychiatrist with a psychologist. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor (M.D. or D.O.) who writes out prescriptions and decides whether physical and mental disorders are from physical or psychological origins. A psychologist, however, is a doctor of philosophy (Ph.D) or a doctor of psychology (Psy.D). Those are not medical degrees, and a psychologist cannot prescribe medicine.  But in order to become either one, you need to earn a B.A or B.S. first and have very good grades.

In order for a physician to practice medicine in a state, he/she must have an active license to practice in that state. You should be able to check the status of a physician's license at the Florida Board of Medicine, located at www.doh.state.fl.us. You should also report any fraudulent activity to this same Board. \n\nIf a person has earned the degree of MD, DO or any other doctorate, that person may legitimately use the title "Doctor;" however, in order to independently practice medicine (or corresponding discipline) or patients, he/she must be granted a license by the state.

4 years of college, 4 years of medical school to get an M.D. degree.  After that, though, you need to complete an internship (usually 1 year) and residency (3-7 years) to become a licensed practicing physician.  You don't need to major in science, but you do need to complete certain prerequisite courses (Chemistry, Biology, Organic Chem, Physics, etc.) in order to qualify for the MCAT examination which is required for medical school admissions.  Good luck!
