Physicians are accustomed to checking thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in older adults with symptoms of an over- or underactive thyroid, as itâs a fairly accurate and routine measure of thyroid function.

After undergraduate studies, four years of medical school is required. Before attending medical school, applicants must send their college transcripts to the schools they apply to, pass the Medical College Admission Test, and obtain letters of recommendation.
Medical school is typically a four year program, although there are some schools that offer a combined BS/MD or BS/DO degree in six years. That is, a sort of combined college/medical school curriculum that takes six years vs. the traditional eight years (four years of college plus four years of medical school).
