Well, if you count residency it is 11-12 years after high school on average. Your four year bachelors (I did mine in 3.5 years, some take 5 or more, so that varies), four years of med school, and then a 3-4 year residency.
Specialies are numerous. The main ones are surgery, internal med, pediatrics, and family practice.
The first three all subspecialize as well.
Surgery has specialites in several organ systems, neurosugery, orthopedics, colorectal, cardiothoracic, vascular, OB/Gyn, opthalmology, and urology.
Internal med and pediatrics both subdivide by system as well, neurology, cardiology, GI, endocrinology, nephrology, pulmonology, etc. there are many more, but those are the main ones.

Does a Medical doctor lose his title of doctor if he loses his license?
No. In the U.S. the license to practice medicine is granted independently by each state. The degree "Doctor of Medicine" (M.D.) or "Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine" (D.O.) is granted by a college or university with an accredited medical school. Therefore, if a doctor loses his licence, loses his authorization to practice in that particular state, not his title or degree. The same thing would happen if an nurse lost his/her license. They would no longer be a registered nurse, but they would still have their degree (BSN, MSN, etc.)
