You will need to study:\n\n4 years of a bachellor's degree\n\n4 years of med school\n\n4 years of residency in an ER program\n\n(you might want to sub-specialize afterwards but it's a personal decision)\n\nMost of my ER MD friends are in their mid 30's.\n\nGood luck!

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.

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).

You need to be registered with the General Medical Council (GMC) to work in the UK as a medical doctor. In addition, if you are from outside the EU / EEA, you must have a UK work permit.\n\nTo achieve GMC registration, you must have (1) an acceptable primary medical degree such as MD, MBBS, or MBChB fro a recognised institution and (2) evidence of adequate English language skills. Doctors from outside the EU / EEA are generally required to pass the PLAB test, which assesses both language and medical skills.\n\nMore information on GMC registration is at http://www.gmc-uk.org/doctors/join_the_register/index.asp.

first u have to go to college in an undergraduate program and it would be best to major in pre med or some time of biology. to be accepted you have to take the MCAT which is the test to get into med school, schools look at ur scores to see whether to accept u into the medical school or not. after acception, you have to take 4 years of med school and pass everything. 2 of those years are spent in the class room learning the basics and the other 2 years are spent in rotations in surgery, family med., and other areas to learn more about them and to see what u want to do.  towards the end of ur 4th year you apply to residency programs to get more specialized in the area that u like to study. after matched then graduation.through out this time you have to study and prepare for the board exams. when you pass all 3 exams u are board certified. after graduation you move to the location of ur residency and u are considered an md but u are just learning more to better ur self as a doctor. years that u go to residency depends on what field u go into, keep in mind u dont have to go to residency but its better on job resumes. hope this helps.

There are 2 paths to becoming a paramedic :(You must have basic good education, English, Maths and a science pref.)\n\n1. Go to university and take a four year course in paramedical science.\n\n2.You can start off as an Emergency ambulance technician where you will be trained to deal with emergencies resuscitation etc.   You have to work at this for two years then you can apply for paramedical training.  If you are selected then the ambulance service trains you.\n\nIt is an advantage if you have taken a first aid certificate.\n\nHope this helps.

Depending on your local EMS, but most states require you to be 18. You don't need a high school diploma but you will have a hard time getting hired besides the interfacility companys. You can take the EMT course you just can't be certified by your state. Don't be discouraged, being an EMT is a great stepping stone to any career. It shows responsibility, ability to handle stress, dependability, and maturity to be able to handle emergency situations.

Go to a 4-year school (preferably one with a good reputation), take the required prerequisite pre-med courses like Physics, Calculus, Biology, Chemistry... then take the MCAT test for acceptance into a medical school. Spend the next 4+ years in med school working crazy hours and doing rotations in all aspects of medicine (emergency, surgery, peds, etc.) then specialize in Ob/gyn. Hope this helps. Universities have more info on specific requirements for med school.

You only need a high school diploma for most paramedic programs.  They take about 2 years to complete.  Biology will help with the coursework.  Its a great way to test the water in healthcare and can help to support you if you decide on nursing or medical school.

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).

you don't necessarily have to go to a prestigous university, however u should get into a decent university. Remmber med shool is a totally different ball game. Its very competetive. Where ever u go, make sure you have AT LEAST A 3.7 GPA, and good MCAT. \nIf you really want to be doctor, then go to a communnity college. (2years) Get a 3.8 GPA. then transfer as a junior to a semi-prestigous university, ie. UCLA, Penn State, SUNY, or any state universtiy. Finish with a 3.7. Apply to Med School\nAlso, while in college pre-med, have a back-up major, ie biomedical engineering, nursing, doctor assisant, teaching. Also have tons of community services, ie. volenteer at the hospital. Oh a good thing to do is become an EMT while doing pre-med. Have great refrences, and make sure u STUDY. No joke. more than 50% of pre-med applicants don't get admisstion. Also you might want to even consdireding getting a masters before u get into med school. thats 6 year of PRE-med. then another 4 years of med school, then another 3 years of resedency then a few more years of internship. Be realistic (Can you handle all that, no offense, just trying to help)

Eek. Doctors have to work all the time. They even have to work on christmas. They work in hospitals or in small little offices. They should never develope a relationship with their patients. There are many kinds of doctors. ER Doctors work specificially in the Emergency Room, doctors who give birth, doctors who give shots, etc. They must wash their hand for 2 minutes after helping someone. They must be very clean. They can't turn a patient down. If your teacher wants you to be specific then you should say which kind of doctor you prefer to be. A doctor who gets involved in lots of blood or a doctor who puts bandaides on a little boy who fell of his skateboard.

You need to take everything.. haha.  becoming a doctor takes about 7 years of college.  You can look up the syllabus for any major at the websites of most big colleges and universities.  Do your homework!

Check with the community colleges in your area.  Many offer EMT courses and some offer paramedic programs.  You usually have to be an EMT for a while before being considered for paramedic school.  Also, you can go to a local fire station and they should be able to point you in the right direction.
