Connections to TODAY
Becoming a Doctor
Ancient Arab doctors had to attend medical school and pass a test before they
could practice medicine. Today, doctors in the United States have similar
requirements. To become a doctor, students must pass an exam to get into
medical school and then complete four years of medical school. After
completing those four years, medical students must pass another test to earn
a license, or permit, to practice medicine. Without that license, they cannot be
doctors.
