Do you have to go to medical school to become an RN?

Answer 1

(N.B. The following answer presumes that the question relates to the education of traditional, allopathic physicians and surgeons, and osteopathic medical doctors. The education of naturopathic and alternative physicians will be different than described below) In virtually every country, one must obtain at least one, and often two college degrees in order to become a licensed physician. In times gone by, it was possible to become a physician through an apprenticeship with a senior doctor. Apprenticeship is still important in the education of a physician (it occurs during internship and especially, residency), but nowadays this phase of a physician's education follows formal college-level schooling. It is possible to acquire the formal schooling required to become a physician in as little as five years, post high school, in countries that offer undergraduate medical degrees (Bachelor of Medicine) such as the United Kingdom and Ireland. In the USA, medical education normally is given in a graduate professional school, following 3 years (or more commonly nowadays, 4 years) of undergraduate education, and leads to the Doctor of Medicine or Doctor of Osteopathic medicine degree. This prolonged education is not strictly necessary to impart the skills and knowledges required to practice medicine, but it does tend to reduce the number of qualified students and diminish the number of entrants into the field of medicine. There is at least one USA-based medical school program based on the undergraduate (5-year) model of medical education: the medical school of the University of Missouri, Kansas City. Entrants to that medical school begin directly following high school, as would be the case if they studied medicine in England, Ireland, and other countries offering undergraduate medical programs and complete a 6 year course which results in a dual BS/MD degree. There is no evidence that the physicians graduating from the University of Missouri's program are less competent than physicians trained in the extended graduate school model which now the norm in the USA.
