Almost all physicians complete at least 4 years of undergraduate school, 4 years of medical school, and, depending on their specialty, 3 to 7 years in internship and residency programs. Most applicants to medical school have at least a bachelor's degree, and many have advanced degrees.
/bi:t/ (B) A component in the machine data hierarchy larger than a bit and usually smaller than a word; now nearly always eight bits and the smallest addressable unit of storage. A byte typically holds one character. A byte may be 9 bits on 36-bit computers.
A byte is abbreviated with a B. (A bit is abbreviated with a small b.) Computer storage is usually measured in byte multiples. For example, an 820 MB hard drive holds a nominal 820 million bytes-or megabytes-of data. Byte multiples are based on powers of 2 and commonly expressed as a rounded off decimal number. For example, one megabyte (one million bytes) is actually 1,048,576 (decimal) bytes.
