Remember what they say: if you work at Taco Bell, it kind of spoils your appetite for salsa, know what I'm saying?

You need a BA, normally in pre-med, or similar science and then go to med school for a doctorate

First, four years of college, pre-med or any science. Then Med school to get your MD. Then, graduate school for your field of specialty.

You can pretty much go with a pre-med curiculum. The guidance councelor at your college will tell you what course to take. My husband was pre-med and he got his degree in Psychology. Then you have to go to med school, complete and internship, and residency.

You need a bachelors degree in one of the sciences that will get you into medical school. There's a fairly common set of classes you would be expected to cover… biology, chemisty, physics, calculus, etc., and you can check with your college's career guidance office on that.
Then, you would go to graduate school (medical school) after college for your basic MD, and then specialize in OB/GYN which takes a few more years.

You will need to become a medical doctor. This degree is known as an MD.

bio/chemistry is a good undergrad. Most universities have programs available to cater to pre-medical types like myself.

If you are doing it all for the free peep show, lemme give you a dose of reality: Think of all the disgusting, wrinkled, and pus-dripping ones you'll see for every "normal" one. By the time you get to the cute girl who is fine down there, you'll be so desensitized that you'll just want to get the swab to the lab and eat your lunch.

Did you think you were going to get some from her? Think again.

You need to go to medical school after you get your B.S. degree in a science especially the biological sciences. You're looking at probably 7 years after you get your B.S. before you can hang your shingle.

That will require a medical degree.

You will need a bachelor's degree to get into medical school, but it can be in almost any subject. Having courses on physiology and chemistry would be a good idea.

You have to go to med school to become an OBGYN, which is a doctrate level education. You get your B.S. in pre med (4 years),med school (4 years), residency (2-6 years depending on what you specialize in). Good luck, hope I didn't scare you,LOL!!!!!!

Get a bachelors in a hard science, bio or something, then take your MCATs apply to Med School and specialize in your area.

You need to have a competitive GPA to get into a decent college. At that point, your major would be pre-med which is tough. After graduating from a 4 year college with a pre-med degree, you then move onto medical school, which is another 4 years. (Provided you score well on MCATS which is the "entrance exam" for med school) After graduating medical school (which is grueling and consumes 99% of your time!) you will earn the title of M.D. (or D.O. depending of the school you go to) That is when you start your 4 year residency. Your first year, you are intern. You will work 24 hours shifts and do all the grunt work (all the while learning, of course) and spend time in all areas of medicine, from ER to ortho to pathology to Ob, etc. The last 3 years of residency are spent in your specialty of choice. After that, you are done with training and can begin to work as a doctor. Technically, you are working as a resident. They do get paid and work with less and less supervision as they advance, but are always supervised by an attending physician.
