December 25th, 2008 by admin

i have one year of college done already.

You'll need a college degree and a high GPA; complete the MCAT, and then there are 4 years of medical school. A residency lasts about 4 years for many specialties, and then there can be additional training ("fellowship") to become a subspecialist such as a cardiologist, pulmonologist, neurosurgery. The fellowship can last another 2-4 years.

    I'm reading between the lines here, but I suspect you would benefit from reviewing this web site, as it addresses a lot of the issues in the process of becoming a MD: http://people.howstuffworks.com/becoming-a-doctor.htm
