It depends on your frame of reference, but most people ask how many years out from high school it takes to become an osteopathic physician, so I'll use that. After high school, you would need to attend a college/university and earn a Bachelor's degree (usually four years but some people get it done in three), and take the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test). After you take the MCAT and hopefully do well on that test, you apply to osteopathic medical schools. Once you're accepted, you need to complete four years of osteopathic medical school and complete the board licensure examinations to be a licensed osteopathic physician. Residency is not technically necessary to be a physician, but it is basically the expectation that medical students will attend residency and go on to pursue additional training in a medical specialty.
