      you need to go to medical school, soyou need to take bio chem. physic,and calculus. And then take the MCAT and apply to medical school.

      If you do not already have these classes then you need to take,that will take about a year or two, then 4 years of medical school. After, that it is 2-5 years of residency..

      about 8 more years
