college plus 4 years of medical school plus three years of pathology residency plus a year of fellowship if you want to be a medical examiner in a large metropolitan area. In rural areas in the US, many medical examiners have less training- they have finished medical school, done a residency in general medicine or some other primary care specialty, and take on the medical examiner job because they are better qualified than anyone else in their immediate area. There are many continueing education courses available to medical examiners who have not had formal training for the job.

full time is a long time. You will be a doctor,
you just specialize in medical examining.
Formal education and training requirements for physicians are among the most demanding of any occupation-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 combined undergraduate and medical school programs that last 6 years rather than the customary 8 years.
