How many years do you have to go to medical school to be a allergist?

Question

when i get out of high school i want to be an allergist and i was wanting to know how much longer i would have to go to school after high school.

Answer 1

Im not 100% sure exactly but i think after u finish high school u got 5 years med school then you got your internship which is another year .. after that i think u can start specialization which normally is around 2-3 depending on the subject .. sorry couldn't be more help but approximately it will take 9 years i think max

Answer 2

most people go to 4 year colleges to get an undegrad, although it really isnt necessary as long as you take about about 2 years of some required classes, usually called a pre med curriculum. however, nowadays most people dont stand a chance at getting into med school, unless they have a degree. once you get into med school, its another 4 years for everyone. then depending on what you want to do, times will vary from the time you get out of school, to the time youre actually a practicing doctor on your own.  

Answer 3

Four years of undergraduate work, unless you can complete your bachelor's degree quicker (there is no realistic chance of getting into med school without an undergraduate degree), four years of medical school, three years of internal medicine residency, and then either a two- or three-year fellowship in allergy/immunology (usually you only do the third year if you're interested in doing research).  I believe you can also do the initial residency in pediatrics if you are interested in pediatric allergy--peds residency is also three years.

So a total of 13 years, 14 if you do three years on the allergy/immunology end.  This is if you want to be an MD, mind you.  I'm sure there are jobs in allergy/immunology that wouldn't take this long.
