Question by Bethany: How many years of college do you need to become a doctor?
I’m talking in this area everything all collectively: How many years would it take of college, training, and residence to become a family physician? I know I’m only 13, but I’m curious.

4 years of college, 4 years of health check teach, and 3 years of residency before you can get a job on your own. Only the last 3 years are you getting paid, and not too much. Family physician is one of the least-well-paid health check specialties, so hopefully you’re aiming for that because you like the field. It still pays well, but much less than other health check fields.

Residencies normally last longer than 3 years. Up to 7 years.
If you are motivated and work hard everything will happen in this order:
-At least 4 years of college.
-4 years of health check teach.
-1 year internship.
-3 or 4 years of residency(depends if you do the internship or not, don’t have to, but excellent experience and money)
-1 or 2 years of fellowship(required by all physicians)
-A physician with all that, but you will still need to pass the board of certification(advanced training)
So it’ll take 13-15+ years to become a physician of any kind. Worth it if you want it.
