I'm a doctor.  There were several guys in my class that were late thirties, early forties.\n\nBut....you have to have completed several undergrad courses and taken the MCAT to get in.  Then 4 years of medical school.  Then anywhere from 3 to 7 post-graduate years of training.  \n\nYou can be a doctor.....better question is do you really want to make that kind of commitment?

Go to medical school, become a general doctor, train for another 5 years, then do internships, then become a full blown cardiologist. I'd say about 12 years.

After an undergraduate degree is completed, those who are interested in becoming an MD then go to 4 years of medical school.  To be a PA you need to also have an undergraduate degree, then about 2 years of schooling in a PA program.  You can read more about their training here\nhttp://www.aapa.org/gandp/paeduc.html

To become an Anesthesiologist requires many years of education. After four years in college to earn an undergraduate degree, the perspective anesthesiologist attends four years of medical school to earn an Doctor of Medicine degree. He/she must then complete another four years of training in an accredited Anesthesia Residency Program. The physician may then complete another one or two years in a subspecialty of anesthesia such as Obstetrical Anesthesia, Cardiac Anesthesia, Pediatric Anesthesia, or Pain Management.\nTo become "Board Certified" by the American Board of Anesthesiology, the anesthesiologist must complete a minimum of 12 years of study in accredited programs as noted above. \n\nThey make a 6 figure salary. It just depends on what type and where you work.

If you want to be a radiologist you have to go to school at least 10 years.If you want to be a radiological technician then you go to school for 2 years.I suggest going into nursing because you aren't limited to just the radiology department.you can go into different types of nursing also.a radiologist just looks over the x-rays and diagnoses.an x-ray tech performs the procedures.Hope this helps and good luck!

4 years of college, 4 years of medical school to get an M.D. degree.  After that, though, you need to complete an internship (usually 1 year) and residency (3-7 years) to become a licensed practicing physician.  You don't need to major in science, but you do need to complete certain prerequisite courses (Chemistry, Biology, Organic Chem, Physics, etc.) in order to qualify for the MCAT examination which is required for medical school admissions.  Good luck!

Many employers and an increasing number of States require certification or licensure. Aspiring nuclear medicine technologists should check the requirements of the State in which they plan to work. Certification is available from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists and from the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board. Some workers receive certification from both agencies. Nuclear medicine technologists must meet the minimum Federal standards on the administration of radioactive drugs and the operation of radiation detection equipment.\n\nNuclear medicine technology programs range in length from 1 to 4 years and lead to a certificate, an associate degree, or a bachelor's degree. Generally, certificate programs are offered in hospitals, associate degree programs in community colleges, and bachelor's degree programs in 4-year colleges and universities. Courses cover the physical sciences, biological effects of radiation exposure, radiation protection and procedures, the use of radiopharmaceuticals, imaging techniques, and computer applications.\n\nOne-year certificate programs are for health professionals who already posses an associate degree—especially radiologic technologists and diagnostic medical sonographers—but who wish to specialize in nuclear medicine. The programs also attract medical technologists, registered nurses, and others who wish to change fields or specialize. Others interested in nuclear medicine technology have three options: a 2-year certificate program, a 2-year associate degree program, or a 4-year bachelor's degree program.

It depends where you are starting from.  If you happen to be a general surgeon and wish to upgrade then it would be around a two year program.  If you are just starting first grade then you would have quite a long way to go.

To become a sonographer you first need to become an RT.  Sonographers are RT's who have undergone extra training in Ultrasound.  The RT course gives you training in basic radiography, theatre, fluoroscopy, portables, and dental radiography.  Once this base qualification is achieved, you can specialise in another field, such as CT, mammography or angiography (or education, or health care management, or equipment sales).\n\nI work as a radiographer and I like the diversity of it.  In any one day I can work with a trauma patient, take a couple of mammograms, do a CT scan, take live images in the operating theatre and then do a cardiac angiogram.\n\nSonographers get paid a lot more than regular RT's because, as a scan, it's a lot more operator-dependant.  It's (relatively) easy to take an x-ray - just stick the patient between the x-ray tube and the film and expose.  Sonographers, though, really need to know their anatomy to make sure they're scanning the right spot, and the radiologist relies on their opinion when they make their final report.  Personally, I've never had an interest in sonography, because it seems repetitive to me - spending all day in a dark room leaning over a patient.\n\nA typical day for a radiographer varies, depending on where they work.  There are outpatient clinics where there are 15 minute bookings and the emphasis is getting through as many patients as quickly as possible.  Hospitals are a bit more exciting, but you can see some really nasty trauma.  I work at a small private hospital that has mostly sports injuries and chest pain - no nasty car accidents.\n\nYou can get a really rewarding career out of radiography.  It's a very technical job, but there's a lot of patient interaction, too.  The emergency doctors often ask for your unofficial opinion on the films, so you get to feel like you're really doing something important.  The best part for me, though, is that I've found a really rewarding job where I don't have to take anything home with me - once the patient's been examined, my responsibility has ended.\n\nGood luck with your choice!

All accredited medical schools are 4 years, that gets you your M.D. Then it's at least one year of internship to become a general practitioner, or 3-7 years of residency to specialize.

4 years of undergraduate school, 4 years of medical school, and 3 to 8 years of internship and residency, depending on the specialty selected. A few medical schools offer a combined undergraduate and medical school program that lasts 6 years instead of the customary 8 years.

I think that is right.  So that means (at least in the US) 4 years of college, 4 years of medical scholl and 4 years of residency.  Sometimes these people can also do a fellowship after the residency for special fields (usually about 1 year).
