To become a certified oncologist, a physician must first complete a Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO) degree, followed by a residency in internal medicine, which typically lasts about three years. Afterward, they must complete a fellowship in oncology, usually lasting an additional 2-3 years. Finally, the physician must pass a certification exam administered by a recognized board, such as the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) in the United States, to become a board-certified oncologist. Continuous education and re-certification are often required to maintain their certification.
