Re: Length of medical education
by I. Valdes on Sunday March 07, 2004 @ 04:57 PM
Sure thing Margaret. The minimum amount of training in the US is 4 years of medical school followed by 3 years of residency in a specialty such as Surgery, Pediatrics and Psychiatry. Training takes place at 1 of many medical schools located across the country. Here's a great place to start: http://www.imdiversity.com/Article_Detail.asp?Article_ID=8077 Also, the PBS video of the same title 'So you Want To Become a Doctor?' shows you what medical school is like. You may be able to get this at a local library. Hope this helps and good luck. -- IV
