A doctor must have at least a bachelor’s degree in medicine or a related field, such as osteopathy, dentistry, veterinary medicine, optometry, pharmacy, nursing, or public health. In some cases, additional certifications may be required, such as a medical license from a state board of medicine. Additionally, many doctors also obtain specialized training in their area of expertise, such as pediatrics, internal medicine, surgery, and so on.
