To become an oncologist, an individual typically completes around 13 years of education and training. This includes four years of undergraduate education, four years of medical school, and a residency program in internal medicine lasting about three years, followed by a specialized fellowship in oncology that usually requires an additional two to three years. Overall, it can take approximately 13 to 14 years after high school to fully train as a practicing oncologist.
