you need 4 years of medical schooling to become an M.D., assuming you will pass without a hitch. you will need another year of internship before you can take the licensure examination. after that, it depends if you want to specialize in a particular field. internal medicine will take you another 3 years then you may also proceed to a subspecialty field which would take another 1 to 4 years depending on which path you choose. surgery would be 5 years minimum and that is just for the general procedures. pediatrics, family medicine, ob-gyne, etc... generally 3 years depending on the program.

hunahunaa ug tarung if this is what you want with your life. also be honest kung kaya ba talaga sa sipag at utak for medicine. you might end up getting frustrated. just remember that you will be dealing with survival, the life of an individual is in your hands, don't take it lightly, you have to be good if not the best. just my 2 cents.
