On the other, it takes a remarkably long time to train as a physician. Some specialists can take 16 years or longer to complete their training, and even family practitioners -- who treat a wide variety of conditions for patients of all ages -- typically require a total of 11 years of schooling.

It may be that there is still another field you wish to specialize in. A fellowship, additional training after residency, is the next step of medical training.
