Answer 1

In the USA, students typically do a four year baccalaureate program before attending medical school. Medical school takes four years, after which a Doctor fo Medicine degree is granted. Then, residency (specialty) training occurs. The first year of residency is called internship, and is required in order to receive a permanent medical license in any state within the USA. Specialty training in residency varies from 3 to 7 years. Frequently, doctors will also take additional subspecialty training (e.g. internal medicine and rheumatology or general surgery and vascular surgery) for an additional 2 to 5 years. The number of years of post-MD training are highly dependent on which specialty is chosen.

Answer 2

Well here in Honduras (Central America) it takes seven to eight years to be a general doctor, however if you want to study other speciality like pediatry, ophthalmology, othorhinolaryngologist and others specialities you have to study for three years more.
The Medicine is a excelente career, it's long but in the end you will can see your sacrificies ; )
ohhh, and here you can be a resident in your third year, is very soon but here it's like that.
Cheer up!

Answer 3

It takes about 6 years to become a general physician in Tanzania, that includes theinternship period. And a further four years to become a specialist in pediatrics, internal medicine, surgery, psychiatry or obstretic and gynaecology. And a further one or two years for superspecialisation. Only two years for public health though (shortest speciality).
