Can u do college in less than 4 years? How long does it take to become a doctor, surgeon or physician?

Question

I want to be a doctor so itll take a lot of time so I want to finish quick

Answer 1

Sure. How fast you finish college depends on how many credits you have before college (like AP credits), how many credits you take each semester, and whether you do more than just one major.

4 years is just a guide. If you take a nice steady pace, 4 years is the average for a single major.

Med school is another 4 years (no way to screw around with that). Then, you've got a year of internship and 3 or more years of residency. Maybe a fellowship too.

Answer 2

I did my undergraduate degree in 2 and a half years. It just depends on your school. I took 20 credits (the max) a semester and I went during the summer.

It usually takes four years after college to obtain the M.D. degree. After that, you will choose a medical specialty and spend three years or more as a resident physician in a teaching hospital.

Answer 3

You have to complete High school first. You can speed up your HS experience by doing Post Secondary Education Option (if your HS offers it) and doing AP courses. You can also go to an early college program, and skip parts of HS. Go to high school summer programs at colleges, where you can earn college credits.

To fast track your way through college, take a lot of credits.

AP classes will allow you to skip certain College Courses, and some MEd school courses too, so they should be considered vital.

It takes 4 years to complete med school, and even that is difficult.
