How many years does it take to become a family doctor?

Answer 1

For "family practice" in the U.S.A., most medical schools require that you have an undergraduate degree, which normally takes four years but which can be earned in less time; four years of medical school; three years of residency.

Answer 2

To become a family physician you have to attend college for four years, a medical school for four years, and then do a residency program for four years. So in all I'd say the average person goes through twelve years of school/training to finally be able to open a clinic or work full time as a Physician (doctor)

Answer 3

Answer 4

It would take four years for The Bachelor's degree with completion of all prerequisite coursework required by medical schools and four years of medical school. While many individuals who pursue a career as a physician major in Biology at the undergraduate level, many others come from a variety of other educational backgrounds. You should meet with a career counselor at the college or university you attend for what options exist for you. The important issue is acquiring the appropriate prerequisites required for medical school. The student should have a strong background in the following areas.

• Biology (cell biology, biology of the organism)
• Chemistry (inorganic, organic)
• Physics
• Communication (written and oral)
• Higher level math's
• Computer literacy
• Development of good critical thinking skills.

Following the bachelor's degree, would be four years of medical school to obtain the MD or DO degree. There will also be an additional three or more years to complete the internship and residency requirements depending on the specialty.
