Infectious disease specialists are subspecialists in the larger specialty of internal medicine. Here's how you become one:

Medical school for 4 years, and then you need to apply to a residency program. This is the point of specialty decision. Internal medicine is a 3-year residency program. After this, you do a fellowship program in infectious disease, which lasts a year. It's really a fascinating specialty. I hope you enjoy it:)
