A typical oncologist's educational training will lead them through four years at an undergraduate institution, four years at an accredited medical school, about three years as an internal medicine resident and then about two more years in an oncology subspecialty residency. This gives a grand total of eight years in college and about five more as a resident before one is qualified to practice as an oncologist. However, I think most oncologists would agree that those 13 years are worth it for the satisfaction they receive from their occupation. :)
