5. acceptance 4 years of med school. 1st 2 years are ciriculum, after your 1st year you take step one of the boards. your 2nd 2 years of med school are clinicals (like a mini residency) you do rotations in all different fields. by this time you should have chosen your specialty.
6. in your 4th year of med school you take step 2 of the boards & begin applying for residency (you start applying July 1 of your 4th year. Once you choose your speciallty and apply & interview at 6-8 residency programs you wait to be matched. Maches happen in March of your 4th year. once you are matched, you graduate in May & start your residency in July. depending on your specialty your residency will be 4-9 years – surgery is usually 6-9 depending on specialty.
