Juan’s Answer

Hi Karoline! Yeah as previously mentioned you first need an undergraduate degree, this doesn't have to be in any specific major as long as you fulfill the science requirements in order to be admitted into medical school, nonetheless a science degree would be more convenient since those degrees will cover all the science requirements. Then you would have to be admitted to a medical school and this can be either an MD or DO school. The type of school will not make a difference since either one will go on into the same residency program.

Good luck to you!

Estelle’s Answer

You must go to medical school to become a medical doctor (M.D.) . As Cameren said, you have to get a degree from a university first then 4 years of medical school. There are private and public medical schools all over the nation. To get into medical school, you need great grades, a strong score on the medical school admissions test, compelling personal statements, and exhibit your investment in community oriented service.
Good luck to you!

Here are the most basic steps to pursuing a career as a doctor.

1. First be admitted into a 4-year undergraduate program. The you will need to successfully complete the program and obtain your bachelor's degree.

2. The next step is to be admitted into a four year accredited medical school.
