To become a doctor, you typically need to complete a bachelor's degree, attend medical school, and obtain a medical license through residency and passing exams. To become a teacher, you generally need a bachelor's degree in education or a specific subject area, followed by completing a teacher preparation program and obtaining state licensure or certification.

Hi Daved,
To become a medical doctor you go through medical school. I have attached admission information for Harvard medical school as an example. Make sure you look up the current requirements for any school you would consider.
You first need to earn a bachelors degree in any field (4 years). Many students opt for biology or biochemistry, but it can be anything. You have to cover some pre-requisite courses though. I have attached the pre-requisites for Harvard as an example.
Before you can apply to medical school, you need to take the MCAT. You'll be in medical school for 4 years which includes rotations through different disciplines.
You then decide on a specialty that you want to persue and do a residency in that specialty. A residency can be anywhere from 3 to 8 years depending 9n the field. Some people opt for a fellowship after residency to further specialize.
I hope this helps! Good luck!
