How many years do you have to go to college to become a pediatrician?

Answer 1

A pediatrician is a medical doctor. All medical doctors must complete medical school (4 years). Prerequisites for medical school include at least a four year undergraduate degree (usually Biology and chemistry). After medical school a we must complete a residency. The residency for a general pediatrician is three years. Becoming a pediatrician takes several years like other medical professions.

Typically, you get your GCSEs, then A levels. Then you go onto do a 5 or 6 year degree in medicine at university. Following this, you do 2 years foundation training; this basically links medical school to specialist training. The next step is your specialist/GP training which, depending on what area you wish to focus on, could take anything from 3 to 7 years.

Answer 2

It usually require at least four years of college to become a pediatrician. Most Medical Schools require at least a Bachelor's Degree, and many applicants have a Masters or Doctorate usually in some science related field. Many applicants are nurses, pharmacists, chemists, etc. the more education you have and the higher your Grade Point Average the better you will do on the Medical College Admissions Test and the more likely you will be accepted to medical school.
