you need to be smart and take the right courses in high school and in college
An oncologist is a physician. Therefore, you must be a medical doctor. This would take eight years beyond high school completion; Four years for the bachelor's degree and four years of medical school. There will also be an additional three or more years to complete the internship and residency requirements.
12 yrs
3 full years
There are basically 3 types of oncologists. Medical oncologist Surgical oncologist and Radiation oncologist Training in the USA will take 4 years B degree, 4 years medical school and 5 years of residency. A state board license to practice as a registered oncologist is required following the many years of training.
Four years to become a BS/RN and an additional year for the pediatric specialty.
4 years of undergraduate college, 4 years of medical school, 3 years of pediatric residency, and 3 years of pediatric oncology fellowship = 14 years.
what risks do pediatric nurses take? what risks do pediatric nurses take?
You will need a sufficient amount of education after high school for a pediatric job. You need 4 years in college, take the MCAT, 4 years in medical school and 3 years in residency to become a pediatrician.
A typical oncologist's educational training will lead them through four years at an undergraduate institution, four years at an accredited medical school, about three years as an internal medicine resident and then about two more years in an oncology subspecialty residency. This gives a grand total of eight years in college and about five more as a resident before one is qualified to practice as an oncologist. However, I think most oncologists would agree that those 13 years are worth it for the satisfaction they receive from their occupation. :)
There is no age limit,just if you have the right schooling that might take years
AnswerYou go through 4 years of undergraduate institution 4 years of medical school and then you have to spend about 2-3 years in your specialty area depending on what it is. Then you have your student intern and your residency so all together your looking at 13 years before you are certified in that area of practice. But an Oncologist is someone who deals in the area of cancer so their training is specific.
