The time will pass anyway. You will get older anyway. You might as well be older doing something you love.

My sister did a 6 year md program and she'll be a board certified primary care doctor before her 26th birthday

My family got tired just watching this! Finally started to get it after a few visuals. Thanks!*🤭

[RandombutUnique-ntlm]

Thank you so much for explaining the steps so explicitly! I would like to become a doctor, but i was confused abt the steps and worried abt the length. Please keep making great vids like these! They're really helpful 😊

I finished residency at 27 in IM (a long time ago), you do not need to finish college to medical school but probably should as a back up. My sister went to medical school in Canada in the early 80s and finished residency at 23 in family medicine so it can be done much quicker depending on what you want to do. I think the cost of medical school in the states is getting out of hand. One of my daughters is now a 3rd year medical student and has several hundred thousand dollars in debt already.

Is it even worth it to start my med school journey at 28? 😢

[DoraJoy]

The sad face in the bagining as he ages is real im gonna need so much prayer to keep motivated

[itstoasty]

I thank the Lord Jesus Christ I started college in highschool. I’m going to finish my bachelors at around 21-22, and medical school I would finish at around 25-26. Perhaps I’ll finish young, Lord willing.

We have a similar general structure, but shorter process in Canada. After high school, which last 5 years, not 6, so at 17 years old, we get to college. College is 2 years for programs leading to university like sciences, so leaving at 19. Then it's medical school, between 4 to 5 years depending on the program, getting a MD at 23-24 years old. Then residency, between 2 to 6 years depending on the medical field, becoming board certified between 25 (family medicine without a specialized Emergency training year) to 30 years old (for a 5 years med school + 6 years residency). Then optional fellowship depending on practice goals between 1-3 years added on top.

I’m from india, I’m starting my medical clg next month at 17 yrs old, mbbs course is about 5.5 yrs here so I will be 25.5 yrs by then, if I start my pg the next year then I will finish at 28, further practices and specialisation will take another 5 yrs, so I will be 33 by then, married, having kids, but still have underpaid earnings and having stressful life 😂 but it’s all worth it cuz i would enjoy the process and maintaining a work-life balance :)

[yusufabulouz]

I am 22 years old and close to 23, and I hate degrees that dont make me money, and I hate the thought of having debt for religiously based reasons.
So i am taking nursing right now. I will finish RN in 3 years, so i will be 25 study the MCAT and working as an RN, which will take a year to have a Bachelors (BSN) and my MCAT score at least a 515 or 520 maybe this process will take 2 years. Then i will apply and maybe get in if, after many tries, i dont get in great. I am still an RN and really can keep trying as long as i want. Or do Plan B, which is flight RN to CRNA. I will still be above 100k and, or even more.
Total years = if It takes more than one year to pass the MCAT with a desirable score, then I will be 31 one or so after med school or if it takes only 1 year then i will be 30. Basically, i have the rest of my life after 30 or 31 to practice medicine at the level of a physician. That sounds great to me.

[Over-ueqf]

This is very helpful I’m in community college cause im still deciding if I want to be a attorney or a pediatrician so this is helpful to know what I would get into if I were to go into med school

[_Baeedits]

It does depend on your age rn. I will be about 26/27 to become a family medicine doctor, I did skip a grade and is working to get my gpa up

[dollgirleverdoll]

But what if your school system doesn't have a collage? How long will it take? 😅

[owenrthornton]

I’d honestly day from third year med school and on you basically are starting your training clinically. It’s really not so bad. Or say internship year after med. that’s just 8 years. Only 6 years of pure classroom learning.
Which yeah is a lot compared to no education, but it’s a specialized field and it can be fun and enjoyable if you actually like the content, which I hope you do if you do it as a career

[edhcb]

If you are older when you start(26+) then it all comes down to the money. Is it worth it to you to be staring down 40 years or older when you finally start making doctor money? If you will have loads of debt the answer is likely no.

[mohamadmwassi]

A faster way is going to be an IMG who applies for family medicine residency which takes 9 years 6 years of med school then 3 residency
