* Undergraduate education: A bachelor's degree (typically 4 years) with pre-med requirements (specific science courses).
* Medical school: A medical degree (MD or DO) program (typically 4 years).
* Residency: A postgraduate training program in a chosen medical specialty (3-7 years, depending on the specialty).
Therefore, an MBA has no impact on the timeline to becoming a doctor. The time to become a doctor is generally 8-12 years or more after graduating high school, depending on the chosen specialty. Someone with an MBA would still need to complete the entire medical school and residency pathway.
