1. Graduate from Spelman: They would complete a bachelor's degree, ideally with strong pre-med coursework.
2. Apply to and be accepted into medical school: This is a highly competitive process requiring excellent grades, MCAT scores, and strong letters of recommendation.
3. Complete medical school: This typically takes four years.
4. Complete a residency: This is a period of postgraduate training in a specific medical specialty, typically lasting 3-7 years.
So, while you can't *become* a doctor at Spelman College, it's a perfectly acceptable (and even excellent) place to get the undergraduate education needed to *apply* to medical school and eventually become a physician.
