What qualification to be a doctor?

Answer 1

A career in medicine offers doctors an opportunity to provide a service to the public through the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses, diseases and infections ~ 13 (or more, depending on any specialities) completes surgery, to patients that actually need it! The first step is gaining acceptance to medical school. Here are key attritibutes that greatly improve the success of a candidate: 3.6+ college gpa, 30+ MCAT score, volunteer/research experience, physician shadowing, individuality/well-roundness, good interviewing skills Each medical school will be looking for slightly different characteristics to fill their class. However, the process is more random than expected. Good grades and test scores are simply not enough. Grades are likely the deciding factor of whether a school will offer a candidate an interview but an interview is far from acceptance. The candidate must present him/herself as unique in order to stand out among the sea of highly qualified applicants. Following acceptance, a future doctor must complete 4 years of immense course work which will include patient interaction. The cost of a medical education ranges from $120-300K. After 4 years, the title 'doctor' is granted. However, before a doctor can actually specialize in a field of medicine, 3-10 years of residency training are required (which pays about $40K/year). I think it goes something like this: 4 years of college, 4 years of med school, and a 3-10 year internship called residency. A 1-2 year fellowship may also be required in order to specialize in a particular area of medicine (such as gastroenterology). college and medical school qualifications - MBBS; MBBS/BSc; MBChB; MBBCh; BMBS - all of which are normally referred to as a "first MB".and spaks

Answer 2

Graduate college with a bach. degree (usually in some type of science - i.e. physiology or the like), then attend medical school. after that you must pass a few tests (MCATs etc). You will then need to intern and become a resident as well. A lot of your work at that point will also be affected by the area of medicine you choose to pursue. A lot of work, but if you're passionate about it then you will find it is definitely worth it.

Passion is the most important qualification. I have seen a lot of people study "pre-med" in college because they were looking for the prestige & money. I can also tell you that about 9 of 10 of those people have also changed their career choice. Good luck!

Assuming you're talking about a physician ... you'll need a medical degree such as a DO (Doctor of Osteopathy) or MD (Doctor of Medicine). You'll also need a license to practice medicine (in the US, this is granted by the individual states you want to practice in, and can be revoked). The licence generally requires not only the degree itself but satisfactory completion of a year of "residency" (or "internship", though that term isn't as common anymore) working under the supervision of licensed physicians, and passing of several medical board exams. Typically, this will require 9 years of training past graduation from high school (4-year undergraduate degree at regular college, 4 years of medical school, and 1 year as an intern), though a few medical schools offer an accelerated program admitting students after only 3 years as an undergraduate. Physicians wanting to specialize in some area of medicine (surgery, for example) complete an additional 1-6 years of residency depending on the specialty.
