A person becomes a doctor by completing medical school, followed by at least four years of residency training. During this time, doctors are required to complete rotations in various specialties such as surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, and psychiatry. After completing their residency, doctors must pass an exam administered by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS). This is usually done through an accredited medical school or program.
