Title: If im alread an EMT-b, what more schooling would i have to finish before i could become a doctor?
Post by: lfontes on Jan 28, 2013
I'm looking for options for college. I'd like to become a doctor. I have talked to some EMT's who said that while being an EMT/paramedic they were still going to school to become a doctor. My question is, if im already an emt/paramedic, have i already completed some of the required classes to become  doctor, or is there still 4 years of pre-med and 4 years of medical school.

1] you still must complete
a] 4 years of college [ including some very tough 'pre-med' science, which are NOT the ones they teach EMT ]; and
2] 4 years med school; and
3] a 3 to 7 year residency [ depends on your specialty ]; and
4] maybe 1 to 2 year fellowship [ depends on specialty ]
