Medicine : How Long Does It Take For Someone To Become A Doctor In The USA
I am trying to make a comparison with the Aust system, where a person will either go straight from high school into a 6 yr medicine degree, or do a 3 year degree in another field of interest then a 4 year medicine degree, then one year placement, then postgrad studies (ie specialisation) for about 4 years. Then the Australian doctor is ready to work alone at about age 30. I would appreciate any details about the US system such as: - If medicine/surgery degree can be studied as soon as someone finishes high school (if they have good marks) - If students can only study medicine after having done a general degree at uni (eg bachelor of arts, bachelor of science) - What age most people are when they finish their medicine studies at uni - How old someone in the USA is when they finish all medicine study and can practice alone Thanks very much. ~~~ elisemarie1988 ~~~
Best Answer To Medicine Question
In the US, it is pretty much unheard of for students to go from high school straight to medical school. After high school, students must go to college for 4 years, then go to medical school for 4 years, then most students also complete a residency which usually takes about another 4 years (though this amount of time varies a lot depending on which specialty you choose), so most students are ready to go into practice at about age 30. Yes, in the US, students have to complete a BS or a BA before they can attend medical school.

Answer 1Hello, I'm actually in med-school right now...taking a little break from studies... In the US, you most likely (98% of the time) you need at least a bachelors degree to apply. I did not have one, only the bare minimum requirements (90 college units, counting the basic sciences) which took me about 2 years to acquire. Then I applied at a non-us school (foreign school), which is actually owned by an American company (DeVry) and is located in the Caribbean (Dominica) "Ross University School of Medicine", in which I complete the basic science portion of medical school in 4 semesters (Roughly 16 months), then next I head to Miami to start clinicals (another 2 years) and finally I will be considered a Doctor.......So all in all it will take me six years total.....Praise God...Blessings
Answer 2Traditionally you would go to four years of college, then eight years of medical school, and then two years specializing in an area before you can graduate. However, there are programs where you can do this in less years but it is harder. I think you end up cutting the eight years into six, then if you do summer school you can graduate the reg college in two. So really anywhere between ten to fourteen. New programs come out all the time though, so check it out! Remember that AP courses in high school can get you out of several college classes. Hopefully this helped.

Answer 4They're closely equivalent. Six year combined programs have all but died out (there may be a . school or two, but I don't think there are any for .). Several medical schools allow entry after only three years of college, but a full bachelor's degree is more common. Medical school is four years. The old "rotating internship" is also all but dead, having normally been combined with the residency of three to five years, plus any subspecialty training you might want. It all winds up the same at the end. Depending on the detail you want, you may go to the AAMC (Association of American Medical Colleges) website, , for more.
