How many years does it take to become a doctor, dermatologist, and a dentist in u.s. ?

To become any of the things in your list, you first have to get a Bachelor's degree and take the necassary requirements for dental or medical school. To get a Bachelor's degree takes 4 years.





For medical school, it takes another 4 years. Once you finish medical school, you can specialize. You do this during residency. For dermatology, I believe it is a 3 year residency.


All Doctors are required to do some form of residency and it can last anywhere from 3-8 years depending on the speciality..





Dental school takes 4 years as well and also requires a Bachelor's degree to attend.





So the short answer is





8 years for a dentist





11 years for a dermatologist/doctor.How many years does it take to become a doctor, dermatologist, and a dentist in u.s. ?
A doctor is 8 to 11 years
