The road to becoming a doctor is long and difficult, but just how long does it take?

成為醫生這條路很漫長也很艱辛，但到底要花多久時間呢？

Dr. Jubbal medschoolinsiders.com becoming a doctor is a difficult process with multiple steps and variables.

Dr. Jubbal medschoolinsiders.com 成為醫生是一個複雜的過程，包含許多步驟和變數。

Let's break down the different possible paths to becoming a doctor, including how long each training step takes and how to become a doctor in the fastest amount of time.

我們來拆解一下成為醫生可能走的各種路徑，包含每個訓練階段要花多久時間，以及如何最快成為醫生。

Stick around to find out how old you'll be by the time you become a doctor.

留下來看看你到時候會幾歲才能成為醫生。

首先，我們先來談談基本概念。

How long does it take to become a doctor?

In the US it can take anywhere from seven to 11 years after college, and

在美國，大學畢業後可能需要七到十一年不等，

that's without any subspecialization training.

Medical school typically lasts four years.

After medical school, you'll have three to seven years of residency.

醫學院畢業後，你會有三到七年的住院醫師訓練。

Additionally, you may choose to further specialize with a fellowship.

此外，你還可以選擇進階專科訓練。

This can take anywhere from one to three years, bringing the total to eight to 14 years.

這可能需要一到三年，總計八到十四年。

Factoring in the college degree that you need in order to apply to medical school.

考慮到申請醫學院所需的大學學位。

That adds on an additional four years of schooling before med school for a total of up to 12 to 18 years after high school.

這會在醫學院之前再增加四年的學業，高中畢業後總計可達十二到十八年。

Keep in mind this does not factor in any breaks or gap years you might take after college.

請記住，這還沒算上你大學畢業後可能休息或延畢的任何時間。

It's common for students to take a gap year to either give themselves a well earned break or to improve their med school application during medical school.

學生們常會利用延畢年好好休息一下，或是為了申請醫學院而加強自己。

Students may also choose to take a gap year to ease the stress of school and to enhance their residency application.

學生們也可能選擇延畢年來減輕學業壓力，並加強住院醫師申請。

Apart from earning an additional degree such as an MBA or mph, many choose an additional year for research to bolster their residency application if they're applying to a competitive specialty such as plastic surgery or ent.

除了攻讀額外的 MBA 或 mph 學位，許多人會選擇額外一年做研究，以加強申請競爭激烈的專科，如整形外科或耳鼻喉科。

With all that in mind, what's the fastest possible journey from high school to becoming a fully trained physician?

考量到這一切，從高中畢業到成為一位訓練有素的醫師，最快的路程是多久？

The fastest way to becoming a fully credentialed doctor is to take the most straightforward path without subspecializing or taking any gap years.

成為一位合格醫師最快的方式，就是走最直接的途徑，不進階專科訓練也不延畢。

This means earning a four year college degree immediately, gaining an acceptance to medical school, finishing medical school in four years, and

這意味著你必須先拿到四年的大學學位，接著進入醫學院，完成四年的醫學院學業，

completing a short residency such as family medicine or pediatrics, which both take three years.

然後完成像家庭醫學或小兒科這樣為期三年的住院醫師訓練。

Therefore, the fastest you can become a fully trained doctor, also known as an attending physician, after high school is 11 years.

所以，從高中畢業到成為一位訓練有素的醫師，也就是主治醫師，最快需要11年。

However, if you're extra eager, you may be able to complete college in fewer than four years by taking summer courses or by gaining acceptance at an accelerated BS MD program during high school.

不過，如果你非常積極，可以透過上暑期課程或在高中時就錄取加速的 BS MD 課程，將大學學業縮短至四年以內完成。

BSMD programs are early admission pathways that combine bachelor and MD programs together to streamline the journey from high school to medical school and cut the combined length of college and medical school from the typical eight years to six or seven.

BSMD 課程是結合大學部和醫學部學程的提早錄取管道，能簡化從高中到醫學院的過程，並將大學和醫學院的總時長從一般的八年縮短到六到七年。

Additionally, there are a few medical schools that can be completed in three years rather than the usual four.

此外，有些醫學院只需三年就能畢業，而不是一般的四年。

So what do all of those numbers really mean?

那麼，這些數字加起來到底代表什麼呢？

You may be looking at that timeline and counting away the years of your life it will take to become a doctor.

你可能會看著這個時間表，計算著自己要花多少年才能成為一位醫師。

Lets say, for example, you graduate high school at age 18.

舉例來說，假設你18歲高中畢業。

If you go directly into college without any delays or gap years, you will be 22 by the time you graduate college.

如果你直接進入大學，沒有任何延遲或延畢年，那麼你大學畢業時將是22歲。

If again, you go directly into medical school after college and don't take a gap year when you're in medical school, you'll be 26 by the time you finish med school.

如果你大學畢業後直接進入醫學院，而且在醫學院期間不延畢，那麼你醫學院畢業時是26歲。

That also means you'll be 26 when you begin residency and finally begin earning a regular salary.

這也意味著你26歲時就要開始住院醫師訓練，並終於開始領取固定薪水。

Though keep in mind, at this point in your career, you still won't be making much.

不過要記得，在這個職涯階段，你的收入還是不會太高。

Residents make approximately $60,000 a year and you'll likely have notable student loans to pay off.

住院醫師一年大約賺60,000美元，而且你可能還有不少學貸要還。

Alright, now you're in the final stretch.

好了，現在你已經進入最後衝刺階段了。

By the time you finish residency and can begin earning a real doctor salary, you'll be anywhere from 29 to 33 years old.

當你完成住院醫師訓練，可以開始領取真正的醫師薪水時，你大概是29到33歲之間。

The difference depends on the specialty you choose to pursue.

The length of training varies across specialties from three to seven years and is often, but

訓練時間因次專科而異，從三年到七年不等，而且通常（但

not always, reflected in the salary a doct receives.

不總是）會反映在醫師的薪資上。

For example, residency can be as short as three years for Internal medicine, Pediatrics, Family medicine, Emergency Medicine.

舉例來說，像是內科、小兒科、家庭醫學、急診醫學的住院醫師訓練最短可以只有三年。

For these specialties, you would be 29 at the end of residency.

這些專科的住院醫師訓練結束時，你大概是29歲。

Some of the four year residency programs include anesthesiology, dermatology, psychiatry, OB GYN, neurology, pathology and ophthalmology, which will make you approximately 30 years of age by the time residency is complete.

有些為期四年的住院醫師訓練，像是麻醉科、皮膚科、精神科、婦產科、神經科、病理科和眼科，訓練結束時你大約是30歲。

Five year residency programs include radiology, urology, general surgery, vascular surgery and Otolaryngology, which puts you at 31 after residency.

為期五年的住院醫師訓練包含放射科、泌尿科、一般外科、血管外科和耳鼻喉科，訓練結束後你就31歲了。

Plastic surgery, Thoracic surgery and interventional radiology are six year residency programs, which means you'll finish residency at age 32.

整形外科、胸腔外科和介入放射科是為期六年的住院醫師訓練，這意味著你將在32歲時完成訓練。

Finally, there's neurosurgery, which is the longest program at seven years.

最後，還有七年制的腦神經外科，這是最長的訓練課程。

You'd be around 33 years old by the time you finish neurosurgery residency.

等你完成腦神經外科的住院醫師訓練時，大概是33歲。

In addition to these timeframes, remember that fellowships to further specialize can take anywhere from one to three years.

除了這些時間表之外，別忘了進一步專精的進階專科訓練，可能需要一到三年。

This puts the age range for a subspecialized doctor at 30 to 36 years old.

這讓次專科醫師的年齡範圍落在30到36歲之間。

Lastly, let's consider what each of these training periods actually look like.

最後，讓我們來看看這些訓練期間實際的樣子。

College lasts four years and these are broken down into freshman, sophomore, junior and senior years.

大學是四年，會抽成大一、大二、大三、大四。

Focus on building strong study habits, getting good grades and completing your ges.

專注培養良好的讀書習慣、拿到好成績，並完成你的通識課程。

This is also when you'll need to begin gaining experience in medical related activities and building strong relationships for letters of recommendation.

這時候你也要開始累積醫學相關的經驗，並建立良好關係，以便取得推薦信。

The third year of College Junior year is when you'll start focusing on your major coursework, also known as your upper division studies.

大學三年級，也就是大三，你會開始專注於你的主修課程，也就是高年級課程。

Students hoping to attend medical school immediately after college also need to apply at the end of junior year.

希望大學畢業後能直接進入醫學院的學生，也必須在大三結束時提出申請。

Applications generally open in late May or early June and it's imperative that you submit your primary application as soon as soon as possible to have a fighting chance at acceptance.

申請通常在五月底或六月初開放，你務必盡快提交主要申請，才有機會被錄取。

接著是醫學院，美國的 MD 和 DO 學位通常為期四年，每個訓練年都不同。

The first two years are preclinical, which means you primarily learn in the classroom and have limited clinical exposure.

前兩年是臨床前階段，主要在教室學習，臨床接觸機會有限。

The final two years you'll spend primarily in the hospital on your clinical rotation, learning firsthand from resident doctors and attending physicians MS.3 and MS.4.

最後兩年你主要在醫院進行臨床實習，直接向住院醫師和主治醫師 MS.3 和 MS.4 學習。

Your clinical years are vastly different from your first two pre clinical years as now, the evaluations from the attending physicians you're working under hold a massive weight in your overall grade.

你的臨床實習年與前兩年的臨床前階段截然不同，因為現在你合作的主治醫師給予的評價對你的總體成績有很大的影響。

During your third year, you'll complete various core rotations like family medicine, neurology, internal medicine, psychiatry, and more.

在第三年，你會完成家庭醫學、神經學、內科、精神科等核心輪調。

The final year of medical school is when you'll be able to take elective rotations, sub internships and away rotations.

醫學院的最後一年，你將有機會進行選修輪調、次級實習和校外輪調。

Ms. 4 is also when you'll apply to residency and hopefully match into your chosen residency program.

MS.4 同時也是你申請住院醫師訓練並希望能配對到你選擇的住院醫師訓練計畫的時候。

You'll find out if and where you matched during Match Week, the third week of March of your final year of med school.

你將在醫學院最後一年的三月第三週的配對週（Match Week）得知你是否配對成功以及配對到哪裡。

Lastly, during your three to seven years of residency, you'll be practicing medicine under the supervision of attending physicians.

最後，在你三到七年的住院醫師訓練期間，你將在主治醫師的監督下執業。

You are no longer a medical student, you're a doctor in training being paid to work a job.

你不再是醫學院學生，而是一位有薪水的住院醫師。

Before you're fully licensed, board certified, and

在你完全取得執照、通過專科認證，

can practice on your own without supervision, you need to hone your skills as a resident doctor.

並能在沒有監督下獨立執業之前，你需要作為住院醫師磨練你的技能。

Following residency, you can choose to further subspecialize with a fellowship to become an expert in a particular subspecialty of medicine.

住院醫師訓練之後，你可以選擇進一步進修次專科，成為特定醫學次專科的專家。

Becoming a doctor is a long and tedious process, but
