3.) You will attend a 4 year medical school. Near graduation you will need to apply for a residency program at a graduate school of medicine.

4.) Once in a residency program it will depend upon which field you enter as to how long your residency will be. Some are 3 years such as family practice. Surgeons can be in a residency program for 4 to 5 years. Once you are in a residency program you can specialize in your chosen field.

At least two, and more probably three or four. You then have four years of medical school.
