What are the requirements for being a doctor?

Answer 1

do you mean a medical doctor? It depends on the country.

The usual process: first you pass some exams to get into med school (in the USA you need an undergrad before med school).

In med school, you pick a specialty (or sometimes before you start) like plastic surgery, reproductive health, etc.

Then, when you finish med school you're a junior doctor. after you prove yourself (which sometimes involves another exam), you become a proper doctor.

If you can't pass the tests in your own country, try moving to one with less strict requirements. Belgium apparently gets foreign med students who couldn't pass the med exam back home.

Answer 2

Graduating from medical school.

You probably want a more specific answer. The requirements for acceptance to a medical school are usually a decent GPA, decent MCATs, and the right undergraduate coursework. Research experience, medically related work experience, and a history of volunteer work do not hurt either.

Introductory biology, physics, and chemistry are required for acceptance into just about all medical schools. Organic chemistry is as well. Many schools also want you to have additional scientific coursework, which can be genetics, biochemistry, calculus, physiology, and subjects like that. They also like you to have some English classes. Maybe a psychology class as well.

In medical school, you usually learn how the body works in the first year. You tend to learn what goes wrong with the body in the second year and how to treat it. The third and fourth years are often spent doing rotations throughout the different medical specialties.

Then, to do any specialized work, you have to do a residency, which is essentially a guided practice. Residencies can be anywhere from 3 years for family practice, to 6 or 7 years for neurosurgery.

Answer 3

The requirements are usually a background in general biology, chemistry, and physics in college along with organic chemistry and some like you to take some upper division science classes. A degree is not required to get in to some med schools but it definitely helps your chances and they like you to take the general ed classes to get you well rounded. After college take the MCAT score decent and have a decent GPA and you should get in somewhere. Go four years to med school then depending on what field you want to go into you have a residency period between 4-6 years which you get paid to complete. After that your a doctor assuming you pass the boards along the way.

Answer 4

These are the requirements for most medical schools:

1 year of Biology with lab
1 year of Inorganic Chemistry with lab
1 year of Organic Chemistry with lab
1 year of English
Many schools require 1 year of calculus or college level math
Some medical schools request a course in Biochemistry

Your average GPA should be between the 3.5 to 4.0 (on the standard 4.0 scale used in the U.S.).

You should like to help others.
You should enjoy working hard.
You should be interested in science and health issues.
