"Nobody" is correct. There are ways to be "in the medical field" with mere weeks of training. Others, like medical school take at least a decade if not more of gruelling education and training.
You are going to have to zero in a little more on what field you might be interested in. Does your school have counsellors that could help you explore the options? Do they have an internship or "shadowing" program so you can visit with some of the numerous types of medical professionals? That seems like that track would be more likely to get you off in the right direction than this sort of format.

To become a doctor, dentist or anything in the medical field you have to go to college. Usually your first two years you are working on your basic and taking the required classes necessary to be accepted to medical school. Most people get a degree before they go to medical school. Dental school is min 2 years of college initially then you go to a 4 year graduate school. Med school is alot long anywhere for 6-10 years if you include residency, sometimes more.

James,
This is a very broad and imprecise question. So, here is my broad and imprecise answer. Medical doctors hold a "doctorate" degree in their chosen field of medicine. This is normally 8+ years of college plus a residency term in a hospital. Dentists are "doctors" in that they also complete a doctorate degree. "Anything in the medical field" could consist of registered nurses, licensed pratical nurses, nurses aides, home health aides, therapists, radiologists, phlebotomists..... and on and on. There are hundreds of jobs in the medical field.
