Radiologist need at least 4 years of medical school + 4 years in a residency program.  You can do a fellowship after that if you want to specialize further in something like interventional radiology  (1-2 yrs depending on the program)\n\nSo at least 8 yrs and up to 10yrs\n\nJust FYI, radiology is a more competitive specialty, not to deter you or anything like that.

This is what you need to do.\n\n1) In high school, take all the college prep courses, especially the science and math courses. You have to be good at these subjects, or choose another career.\n\n2) Four years of Pre-Med, with emphasis on a bachelor's degree in bilogy, or chemistry.\n\n3)If you are fortunate enough to get accepted into med-school, you have 4 years of hard work studying the general  aspects of medicine and general surgery.\n\n4) After you get your MD's degreeyou will have to pass a medical board to practice medicine as an intern in a hospital. After the one year internship is over, you can opt to become a generalpractioner, if that is your fancy. \n\n5) If you want to be a specialist in a medical field, such as internal medicine, you have a 3-5 year residency at a hospital, before you can get board certified in your area of specialization.

If you want to be a radiologist you have to go to school at least 10 years.If you want to be a radiological technician then you go to school for 2 years.I suggest going into nursing because you aren't limited to just the radiology department.you can go into different types of nursing also.a radiologist just looks over the x-rays and diagnoses.an x-ray tech performs the procedures.Hope this helps and good luck!

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.

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.

Many employers and an increasing number of States require certification or licensure. Aspiring nuclear medicine technologists should check the requirements of the State in which they plan to work. Certification is available from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and from the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board. Some workers receive certification from both agencies. Nuclear medicine technologists must meet the minimum Federal standards on the administration of radioactive drugs and the operation of radiation detection equipment.\n\nNuclear medicine technology programs range in length from 1 to 4 years and lead to a certificate, an associate degree, or a bachelor's degree. Generally, certificate programs are offered in hospitals, associate degree programs in community colleges, and bachelor's degree programs in 4-year colleges and universities. Courses cover the physical sciences, biological effects of radiation exposure, radiation protection and procedures, the use of radiopharmaceuticals, imaging techniques, and computer applications.\n\nOne-year certificate programs are for health professionals who already posses an associate degree—especially radiologic technologists and diagnostic medical sonographers—but who wish to specialize in nuclear medicine. The programs also attract medical technologists, registered nurses, and others who wish to change fields or specialize. Others interested in nuclear medicine technology have three options: a 2-year certificate program, a 2-year associate degree program, or a 4-year bachelor's degree program.

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.

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.

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.

University- usually 4-years, during which time you take med school prerequisites\n\nMedical School- 4-years of absolute fun (insert sarcasm here)\n\nAfter 8 years of study, you should figure out which sort of oncologist you'd like to be Medical, Surgical, Gynecological etc.\n\nMedical Oncology- 3-years of internal medicine residency then 2-years of Fellowship\n\nSurgical Oncology - 5-years of general surgery residency then 2-years of fellowship\n\nGynecologic Oncology - 4 years of Obstetrics/Gynecology residency then 3-years of Fellowship\n\nPediatric Hematology/Oncology -3 years of Pediatrics, and 3-years of fellowship\n\nThese are just off the top of my head there are other oncology subspecialties. Good luck

you'll need to attend a 4 year college where you MUST take\n1. 1 year of general chemistry\n2. 1 year of organic chemistry\n3. 1 year oh physics\n4. 1 year of biology\ndepending on the medical school you choose, you may also need a semester of math, english, and a humanity (history, philosophy, ect.)\n\nyou also need to take the MCAT during your junior year of college. the mcat tests your ability to retain knowledge, and be able to apply it to an unfamiliar situation. which is essentially what doctors do.\n\nthe test is divided into 4 sections, physical science (half physics and half general chemistry), biological science (2/3 biology and 1/3 organic chemistry), verbal reasoning, and a writing section.\nphysical science, bio science, and verbal are each scored on a scale of 1-15 points. so a 45 is the maximum. to get into medical school, you need a 30, meaning at least a 10 from each section. writing is scored by a letter grade from J to T (j being the worst, t the best)\nso your score looks like this: 32P \nthe MCAT is an 8 hour test, and by the time you take it, it will be on the computer.\n\nduring medical school you'll study your anatomy, biochemistry, virology, ect, mostly during your first two years, then your last two years you do rotations, meaning you get to try all the medical specialties like surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, ect. \nyou graduate medical school.\nthen you get to discover the circus that is the match. \nyou apply for a specialty, pediatrics, at a certain hospital where you will be taught the ins and outs of your specialty. you'll be an md, but you'll essentially be "in training" for a number of years. \noh yes, the USMLE (us medical licensing exam) which has 3 steps, which you need to take to be an official doctor. the first two steps are taken during med school, the last one is taken during your residency.\nafter you complete your residency you try to get a "real" doctor spot, which is called an attending position, where you treat your own patients and have your own group of doctor wannabees to train.\n\nthrer's a LOT that i haven't covered, but that's everything in a nutshell.\n\ngood luck.

A radiologist is a doctor that reads or interprets diagnostic imaging films. ie xrays, mammos, cat scans, mris, ultrasound films.  A Radiographer or radiologic technologist takes the xrays.  You go to school for 2 yrs in most states to an accredited program and most graduates now earn an Associates Degree.  You must then sit for your boards from the ARRT (American Registry of Radiologic Technologists).  If you pass you are then an R.T. (Registered Technologist).  You start out taking plain diagnostic films but there are many specialties to on to.  Nuclear medicine, Radiation Therapy, MRI, CT, Mammos for women.  Most areas of the county you do make a decent salary for only 2 yrs of education.  And its a skill that's always in demand you can always find work anywhere you go.  You will spend 90% of your work day interacting with people.  They are often sick and cranky.  This can be a physically and mentally demanding profession.  But it supported me and my child when I was a single parent.  And my entire family when my husband started his own business.  It is a constantly changing field that if you never lose your basic skills you will  never fail to have gainful employment.  Just like every other career some days you feel you've done a good thing and other days you are completely frustrated and ready to give up.  I hope this helps and wish you luck with whatever career you choose.
