Many aspiring doctors ask, how long is medical school? In Canada, medical school typically lasts four years, following the completion of a four-year undergraduate degree. After medical school, students must complete a residency program, which can take between two to six years depending on the specialty. The entire journey to becoming a doctor, including licensing exams like the MCCQE1, can take 10–14 years. Understanding the full process is essential for future medical professionals.
