After four years of undergraduate school and four more years of medical school comes Internship -- that one year which involves more learning than the previous eight years combined.  [Total of 9 year] http://www.drgreene.com/21_566.html\n\nThe average age of students entering the WWAMI Program at Montana State University [medical school] is approximately twenty-five ... [student must have already completed four years of college]http://www.montana.edu/wwwwami/highschool.html\n\nSo if a 25-year old student [college graduate] enrolls at Montana State University Medical School, attends the 4 years of medical school he/she would then be 29 years old.  After completion of one year internship the doctor would be 30 years old when ready to go into practice.

Douglas "Doogie"  Howser M.D. -14 years old (youngest)\n\nAnd my classmate in Medschool - He actually start medicine proper at the age of 51.... so 51 plus 4 years med proper and 1 year internship = 56 years old (oldest)

As I'm starting medical school next year, I found your question interesting.  I've been told by countless people in the medical and non medical field that if you are going into medicine for the money, then be a lawyer.  You have only four years of school and then get paid bank without any of the malpractice insurance.  So basically people going into medicine for money are either too stupid to know that there are easier careers that make more or they are doing it for other reasons as well.\n\nI do believe that few people would shell out thousands of dollars for college, thousands more for medical school (I have to pay 40,000 per year, just for tuition) and then make peanuts for 3-5 years during residency, it they were not going to be reimbursed for it.  Not to mention that it is another seven years minumum after college of your life.  Sure the money is an incentive, but you have to either love the human body or love improving the health of others.

To get your M.D. or D.O. you need a minimum of 8 years of school, four years of undergraduate and four years of Professional (medical) school. In very rare occasions, you can be accepted to a medical school before earning your undergraduate degree, but this is extremely, rare (I mean extremely).

To get a medical degree, you must have an undergraduate degree followed by four years of medical school.  After medical school most doctors have one or two years of internship (on-the-job training) followed by anywhere from four to ten years of medical residency to specialize in a certain branch of medicine. Surgery takes the longest, while general practictioner takes the shortest.\n\nWhile studying medicine doctors are also taught such things as patient communication and patient empathy (or the opposite, depending on circumstance).  Bedside manner is very important to the caring physician.

Becoming any type of doctor takes a lot of work. Normally you will do about 12 years of schooling, starting at regular 4-year college/university. Doctors don't take home a wage, but a salary and depending where you're at in your career will depend. But most doctors make good money, but there are long hours.

www.DrugDealers.com\n\nor you can just go the traditional way and choose a 4 year degree at a reputable university and actually go to class and study your brains out so that not only you have an excellent GPA, but that you also actually learn the information in the classes you take so that you can also get a high score on the MCAT. Then, apply to usually 10-20 different medical schools with the hopes that at least one accepts you. Study medicine for 4 years in a medical school, which most likely you won't be able to have any other life besides medical school. Then once you're done with 4 years of medical school you will most likely do a residency, which could possibly take another 4 years for a total of 12 years now. Then you can either start your own practice, or just work for some hospital as a doctor......\n\nbut the first website would probably be much easier....especially for you :-)

It will take 4 years of undergraduate work taking classes that include biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, etc...Then you have to be accepted to a medical school for another 4 years.  At the end of your schooling you'll spend another 3 years in residency as a physician under other doctors being certified as a pediatrician.  This is in the US anyways.

You would need to complete a 4 year bachelor's degree with biology, chemistry, physics, calculus courses, among others. \n\n4 years of medical school consists of two years being spent in basic sciences, and two years spent in a clinical setting (internships/rotations).  \n\nAfter achieving a medical degree, graduates go on to complete 3-5 year residencies (the length is determined by the type of residency, for example, internal medicine is usually three years while a specialization such as pediatrics is five or more years). \n\nTo further specialize, you would need to complete special residencies which can take several more years.\n\nSo, 4 years of college + 4 years of medical school + 5 (or more) years of residencies = 13+ years

Pediatrics is a speacialization inside the field of medicine. Before you can specialize in pediatrics, you must obtain a degree in medicine (MD in the USA). In the US, you need to complete a 4-year college degree and pass the MCAT exam before being accepted to medical school. Medical school consists of 3 years plus internships and residencies. In the UK and Australia, you can major in medicine right after high school. For a list of rankings please see the website below.

Check out Osteopathic schools.  They accept applicants based on desire more than filling traditional profiles.  Regular allopathic (MD) schools pretty much discriminate against age.  I worked in an Osteopathic hospital for a while.  Several docs were something else first.  One was an engineer, one was a Gym teacher and one was a pharmacist.  If you are serious- this is were I'd start looking.
