To become a doctor, you must follow primarily an education that begins with completing a Bachelor's degree generally in a science-related field such as biology or chemistry. The most common route is to pursue a bachelor's degree in medicine and a bachelor's degree in surgery (MBBS), which is 5.5 years of training that includes both theoretical and practical training culminating in mandatory internship. After obtaining an MBBS degree you can further specialize by pursuing postgraduate degrees like a MD or MS in Medicine which usually take another three years to complete.
