Hi Payel Sow Mondal, A student must earn a Bachelor's degree preferably in biology or chemistry and complete four years of medical school to earn a Doctor of Medicine (M. D. ). The M. D. graduate then fulfills up to seven years of residency in internal medicine followed by at least a 2-year fellowship in immunology. Thanks!
