American medical education
American medical education involves several stages: undergraduate pre-med studies, typically four years of college, followed by four years of medical school where students learn medical knowledge and clinical skills. After graduating, doctors undertake residency training in a specialized area of medicine, which can last from three to seven years, providing hands-on experience. Some may pursue additional fellowships for further specialization. This comprehensive process ensures physicians are well-prepared to diagnose, treat, and manage patient care effectively. The system emphasizes rigorous training, clinical practice, and ongoing learning to maintain high standards in healthcare delivery.
