John’s Answer

This is a long and labor intensive process. You take pre-medical education classes during your undergraduate studies, which is to make sure you have a solid understanding of the sciences (biology, physics, chemistry, math and a year of English). You then take your MCATs and apply for medical school. Med school is more hands on and focused on providing care. During this time, you will do rotations in different specialists' offices to see what medical specialty you many want to pursue. Med school is followed by a residency, which lasts a few years and is exhausting, but you are officially a doctor during this time. After residency, you can officially do your own thing and practice medicine how you see fit (within legal limitations of course).
