Best Answer
you have to have a doctor of medicine degree
  1. Before you apply to medical school you must get good grades in high school, apply and get accepted to an accredited four year college or university, and graduate with a degree in biology, chemistry, nursing, chemistry, psychology, or other related field's. You will need recommendations from at least one physician. Then you take the Medical College Admissions Test and apply to medical school, either Medical Doctor or Doctor of Osteopathy, they will review your application and perhaps give you an interview. If you are accepted and graduate in four years, then you must do a one year rotating internship, followed by a four year residency. Then take your Board Examination and pass, then apply for a license in whichever state you intend to practice.
