How different is medical school for dermatologists than for physicians?

I am in the 10th grade and I wanted to know the difference in experiences of residency and medical school for aspiring dermatologists than for physicians that would work in a hospital.

Would it be better for me to take AP or IB if I want to be a pediatrician?

I am currently a freshman taking an IB course, but I have the opportunity to switch to AP. However, if I choose AP, I would need to take Latin. Unfortunately, my school does not offer many AP courses that align with my intended major, with the exception of Biology. The available AP courses offered by my school are: African American Studies, Art History, Biology, Calculus AB, Computer Science, English Language & Composition, English Literature & Composition, Environmental Science, Microeconomics, Pre-Calculus, Statistics, U.S. Government, U.S. History, and World History. After researching both options, I found limited and mixed opinions about IB online. Some sources suggest that IB does not guarantee a diploma and is exceptionally challenging. Additionally, my school requires students to stay after school each day to attend classes, which I am not sure I am willing to commit to. However, if IB is the recommended pathway for pursuing pediatrics, I am willing to take the risk. However, admission to the program is not guaranteed, and I would need to pass an exam. Given these factors, I am genuinely undecided about which path to choose. (If I should pick AP, can you please select the APs that would best suit me.)

What path can I take if I want to go into dermatology but the years for education are shorter?

I want to be able to get into dermatology but I am struggling to commit because I do not want to go through 12-14 years of education. Are there any other roles similar to dermatology that require fewer years? I am not interested in estheticians, however

If I'm certain(fairly) that I want to become a physician, should I attend a 7 year program(combines college + med school) as opposed to a 4 year college and having to apply again for med school?

For reference, I am a rising junior in high school.

How hard/easy are Indian medical colleges (MBBS) when I graduated from high school (12th) in the U.S??

I am going to complete my 12th grade in the US next year. I am considering going to India for medicine as it is much cheaper and shorter. In a general sense how well would I be able to do in Indian Medical colleges. I studied in India until my 8th grade and then came to the U.S. from 9th-12th.

Vocational Inquiry

I got heart surgery about 2 years ago and since then I have stuck to the idea of being in the health field. I KNOW I want to be a Cardiologist. However, I don't know if I want to be a surgeon or physician. I had asked my cardiologist what classes they thought I should take and they said AP Math and/or Intro Physics. I took AP Statistics last year and I am currently taking AP English Language and Macroeconomics. I wanted to take AP Biology next year and get a job so I don't think I can do both. I wanted to ask: -Which one of the two classes should I take? -Are there any common classes for both surgeons and physicians? -What classes should I take if I choose to be a surgeon? a physician? -What major do I have to choose to become a cardiologist? Is there a best choice? -Do colleges want to see some sort of job experience or internship on resumes? If so, is there a minimum? -Would college care if I pass an AP class but fail the exam? Would it look bad on me? -What does a day as a cardiologist look like? For surgeons? Physicians? -Who do I go to if I want an internship? Do I have to find one on my own? -On average, how many years does it take to get my Masters and MD for Cardiology?
