It takes many years to study to become a doctor. First, you would have to earn a bachelor's degree in pre-med, which takes 4 years. After the bachelors degree you go to medical school, which takes another 4 years. Once your education is completed, you then must complete a residency which typically takes another 2 years, which means that it takes about ten years of additional training after high school to become a doctor.
