Question

Answer 1

There are some exceptions to the above rule. There are combined college/medical school programs in the US that grant the MD after 7 years instead of 8. Also, the length of the residency depends on the place offering the program, and the specialty. The minimum I have seen is a 3 year residency, usually for primary care specialties such as pediatrics, family medicine, and internal medicine.

Other specialties can take longer. Surgery is usually 5-7 years, depending on where you do the residency. There are also fellowship programs, which are basically residencies for doctors who want to become specialists. Fellowships are completed after a residency. For example, if you wanted to be a pediatric cardiologist, you would have to complete a 3 year residency in pediatrics, and then a 3 year fellowship in pediatric cardiology. If you want to be a cardiothoracic surgeon, you would have to complete a 5-7 year residency in surgery, and then a 2-3 year fellowship in cardiothoracic surgery.

It's a long haul.

I joined medical college at the age 16. Became a doctor at 23 without repeating any subject.
