Rita’s Answer

This is your timeline:
1. Finish high school
2. 4 years of college
3. 4 years of medical school
4. 3 years of internship/residency

I recommend anyone interested in medicine to work as a medical scribe. They pay you and train you to type notes for doctors. This allows you to see how doctors work and interact with them. When you get into medical school, it will also make your studying easier.

Avi’s Answer

The traditional way is 4 years of college, get an undergraduate degree, apply to and get accepted into medical school (another 4 years), apply to and get accepted into a pediatrics residency program (another 3 years). Some people will often pursue an advanced degree after college (masters degree) to enhance their application for medical school. There also also combined BA/BS + MD programs that you can apply to after highs school that are 6-7 years that allows you to bypass applying to med school after college, but these are very competitive and quite difficult to get into.
