U-M Medical School History\n\nThe University of Michigan Medical School was the first medical school in the U.S. to own and operate its own hospital, among the first major medical schools to admit women and the first major medical school to base its instruction on science. The UM Medical School was also a pioneer in the introduction of the modern medical curriculum and the development of the clinical clerkships as part of medical student education. \n\nIn the late nineteenth century the UM Medical School embarked on a mission to involve students as active participants rather than passive observers in their education, and to teach students how to acquire and interpret information. \n\nThese activities occurred during a period of profound change in medical education. The Medical School had opened its doors in 1850 and charged the first class of medical students $5 a year for two years of education. The curriculum was all lecture, and the second year was a repeat of the first. None of the members in that first class were college graduates, and all were white males. To gain admission, they were required to know some Greek and enough Latin to read and write prescriptions. \n\nIn 1871 the UM Medical School graduated its first woman, Amanda Sanford. Ms. Sanford was admitted on somewhat of a technicality in that the UM regents passed a resolution that year allowing any Michigan resident to enroll at the University; the resolution did not mention, and therefore did not exclude, women and African Americans. In 1873 W. Henry Fitzbutler became the first African American medical student to graduate from the Medical School. Mr. Fitzbutler was the son of a slave. \n\nIn the late 1870s the UM Medical School increased its annual term from six months to nine, and in 1880 a three year curriculum was adopted, laboratory instruction was introduced, and grades were assigned. In 1899 the UM Medical School successfully introduced the clinical clerkship, having succeeded where other medical schools had failed largely because the UM owned its own hospital (privately owned hospitals would not allow medical students to touch their patients).

It is not too late. You do not have to redo college if you have already gone, you will just have to make up the prerequisites. The requirements for medical school are usually 1 year of general chemistry, 1 year of biology, 1 year of organic chemistry, and 1 year of physics (which will require calculus.) If you do not have a bachelor's degree, you will have to earn one, but you can do any major you like as long as you fulfill the premed requirements. (My best friend is a doctor and she was a history major at Columbia.) After that you will have to take the MCAT test and then attend a 4-year medical school and then get accepted to a hospital to do a residency.

Usually four years to get bachelor's degree another four years in medical school for a M.D followed by a residency which depending upon the chosen field involve an additional two to seven years of training after obtaining the M.D.

I don't believe so.  He was married to his wife in 1982, when he was 30.  That would be just a few years after med school.

The US does not have the same progression for medical training as other countries.\n\nIn the US most students complete a 4 year bachelors degree in biology, genetics or other relevant degree and then go on to Medical School to receive their MD.  In this case the bachelors can cost anywhere from 5,000-40,000 a year dependant on what kind of financial aid you get and whether you go to a private or public university.  Then medical school can run you upwards of 100,000 to complete your MD.\n\nIt is possible to graduate with 50,000 - 200,000 in debt by the time you are finished with all that school.

Go to medical school, become a general doctor, train for another 5 years, then do internships, then become a full blown cardiologist. I'd say about 12 years.

A physician has a doctorate degree, more years of education/residency, and also a nicer paycheque!

I am quite sure that India has very good medical schools, and so does Canada. IF you plan on practicing in the US, you will need either a US Medical degree, or pass very stringent tests...can be done, and is done daily. In the US, you will need a Bachelor degree to get into medical school. Upon graduating from Medical School, you will have earned your Doctor's degree in Medicine. (M.D.) Ask YOUR doctor about where and how...he/she will have better knowledge about this than can be found here.

4 years of college and 4 years of med school (unless you go to a school with a 6 year med program - 2 year undergraduate studies and 4 year med school in one) then another 4 years of intern/residency...

For their educations, a doctor goes to college/university for four years to get a Bachelors degree, then to medical school for three years to get a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathy (DO) degree.\n\nTo become a practicing physician, a person with an MD or DO must work as a resident for one year; this is on-the-job training.\n\nDuring the 7 years of school, the student pays to go to school.  During the one year of residency, the resident is paid for working.

What we need to become a doctor is minimum of 12 years of schooling which enables people to apply for admission in a medical school Once there you study medicine for another six years to become a doctor. What is the need for doctors? well we humans get sick and need them at all times. Please remember the initial requirement of 12 years of formal education varies from country to country. Happy doctoring:)

I think that is right.  So that means (at least in the US) 4 years of college, 4 years of medical scholl and 4 years of residency.  Sometimes these people can also do a fellowship after the residency for special fields (usually about 1 year).
