Essential Information. Doctors are licensed medical practitioners who have undergone 11-15 years of training to gain a license. This usually includes four years of undergraduate education followed by four years of medical school, divided into two years of classroom training in medicine and two years of clinical training.
How long is medical school? The answer to your question is four years. Medical school is unlike any other education you can possibly get. Out of the four years of medical school you should expect to spend your first two years in the basic sciences followed by two more years doing your your clinical rotations. You cannot become a doctor without first knowing the basics of medicine, hence the name.
