Wait, an MD only takes three years?
yes, but but residency is another 3-7 years depending on your specialization.
you are not independent doctor until you complete residency. you can only practice under supervision of another doctor. but you're still a meidcal doctor.
if you want to become a medical researcher, often you have MD-PhD, and you'll be in school for 6+ years as you must complete medical training and also publish a PhD dissertation.
