You need to obtain your pre-med degree which takes anywhere from 4 to 5 years depending on where you go and how easily you can obtain the classes you need. Then you have med school which is another approximate 4 years. You then will have an internship of anywhere from 2 to 4 years depending on your specialty. Good luck!

Becoming a doctor will be extremely time consuming.  Your wife will have to understand up front that she will carry most of the burden of watching and caring for the children for the next 3 to 5 years, depending on where you are education wise, until you start your internship and rotation.  You will be away from them for days at a time.  Then there is the financial burden.  As you know it's not cheap.  Take all of that into consideration.  If your kids are at an age that is formative, (2 to 5) it does become a critical issue.  Yes it can be done, but the little ones will probably suffer the most.  On the other hand, down the road an M.D.'s wages can provide nicely for wife and teens. Just make sure the family knows what YOU'RE getting into.  Especially give your wife a full option of say in the matter.  Best of luck to you.

It depends on what type of doctor you want to be.  You are looking at four years of undergraduate (pre-med, bio, chem, etc.) plus three years of medical school, plus a year of being an intern.  That gets you your M.D.  After that, you have a residency and depending on what type of doctor you want to be, depends on how long the residency is.  Surgery varies by specialization and fellowships, most residencies are three years for non-surgery medical paths.

That answer depends on what you take before grade school and after high school. Assuming you had Pre-School and you are going to a 4-year University for a BA, then you would have gone through 18 total years of school.\n\nHow to figure? Add the usual 1-12, Kindergarten (1 year), Pre-school (1 year), and either of the following:\n\n> Associate's Degree (2 years)\n> Bachelor's Degree  (2 Years)\n> Master's Degree    (4 Years)\n> Ph.D.              (6-8 years)

It takes about 20 years, including Grade school, Middle School, High School, then Pre-Med School and then Med. School. Then you go into Internship. Normally, interns are paid in the form of allowances, though some hospitals do pay their interns regular wages.

After high school, you have to complete college (a Bachelor of Science in an approved pre-med major) and then medical school. This process usually takes about 8 years - 4 for the Bachelors, 4 for the medical school. Following medical school you start residency. A surgical residency is 5 - 7 years (this is a working job. A surgical specialty, like trauma surgery, can be 2 years of that residency). Basically that means you go to at least 8 years of school, then start the on-the-job training of a residency. You finish with all that in about 15-17 years.

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).

12 years\n4 years for undergrad/pre-med, Degree-BS, majors include biology,  biochem or chemistry. Some univ. offer courses esp. for pre-med students. To get accepted into a good medical school you need to get good grades during your under years.\nAfter you are accepted into a medical school, depending on your own effort and courses you choose, generally speaking, it may take about 5 years to get your Doctor of Medicine degree (ranges 4-6). But if you want to be a heart surgeon you'll need another 2-3 years of training, total about 12 years. Residency does not count as schooling except for the part you do for a specific class. During residency you are a doctor (unexperienced, though).

It depends on where you are. If you are in the US, there is no such thing as a BACHELORS degree in medicine. One can get a bachelors degree in anything in university in the US and take required pre-med courses and then they typically apply to medical school during the beginning of their 4th year of university when they are earning their bachelors. After that, medical school where one earns their MD is typically 4 years. Hope this is helpful.
