What to do if i should take to help work towards oncology. also, to be a pediatric oncologist, what degrees and such do i need to get?

Training: To be a pediatric oncologist, one must first obtain an undergraduate degree (4 years), then medical school (4 years), then general pediatrics residency (3 years), and finally pediatric hematology-oncology fellowship training (3 years). It is a very satisfying career, and i wish you the best if you choose this career.

Long way: You need to finish college, then medical school, then 3 years of pediatric residency, then 3 years of pediatric hematology-oncology fellowship. Around 14 years all together.

Long time: 4 years of college (can major in anything, but must meet science and math requirements to enter medical school). 4 years of medical school (MD or DO). 3 years of Pediatric residency training. 3 or more years of Pediatric hematology/oncology fellowship training.
