How many years does it takes in medical school and college to become a doctor?

It takes a minimum of 11 years of education after high school to become a doctor in the United States. This includes:

* 4 years: Bachelor's degree (pre-med coursework)

* 4 years: Medical school (M.D. or D.O.)

* 3 years: Residency (specialized medical training)

Some doctors choose to pursue further sub-specialization, which adds additional years of fellowship training beyond the residency.
