Medical doctors in the United States receive

demanding education,training,and testing

before they become licensed to practice
medicine. Before beginning their medical
education they usually have 4 years of college
level education. This is followed by 4 years in
medical school. The first part of medical school
is focused on classroom and laboratory study in
the health
sciences(anatomy,biochemistry,microbiology,
pathology, pharmacology and physiology).
The second part focuses on working with
patients under the supervision of licensed
doctors.
After taking medical school,doctors must complete
1 to 3 years of residency training to be eligibleto to
take the examination to practice medicine in most
States. At this point,a doctor has had as much 11
years of education and training beyond high
school.
Most doctors go on taking specialty training n a
residency program, usually based in a hospital. For
primary certification this can require from 3 to 8
years. This specialty training is followed by more
examinations in order for the doctor to become
certified by a specialty board. If your doctor is
board certified, he or she has probably had about
12 to 15 years of education beyond high school.
After specialty training,some doctors also choose
to do a fellowship to gain more training in a
subspeciality in their field of expertise. The
fellowship can last 2 years or more.
Doctors also keep up-to date in their knowledge of
medicine by taking continuing medical education
courses.
