How many years of schooling do you need to be a GP doctor?

The number of years of schooling needed to become a GP (General Practitioner) doctor varies slightly depending on the country, but it generally takes a minimum of 11-13 years after starting primary/elementary school. This typically includes:

* 4-6 years: Undergraduate education (often a Bachelor of Science degree focused on pre-med requirements).

* 4 years: Medical school (leading to an MD or equivalent degree).

* 1-3 years: Residency/Internship training in family medicine/general practice.

Some countries may have slightly different structures, with integrated medical programs shortening the overall time, or longer residency periods for specializations within general practice.
