What steps do I have to take in order to become a hospitalist? Do I have to become an RN? What will college look like?
I am a junior. I just want to know how many years will each step take and what are the steps.

Hi Aliciana,
I just learned something new - what a Hospitalist is! Based on the definition, you are a physician. Therefore, you will need to go to medical school.
The whole post-secondary education process may take 10-14 years: 4 years of an undergraduate program, 4 years in medical school, and then 3-7 years in a residency program and to become fully licensed.
I hope this helps!

You go to medical school and do internal medicine training. Most of your training will be in inpatient medicine -you’ll get some outpatient training also . Then just work hard and you’ll get better and better at what you do while being paid.
