Question by jayshay22: How does going to medical school work with regular college?

I'm a junior in High school and for a while now I have been trying to figure out exactly how going to a regular college then to a medical school works. I want to become an oncologist, but I don't know where to start exactly, no one has been very clear to me. How many years of regular college do you have to take before you can go to medical school? And what majors do you need to take? And how many years of Medical school do you have to go through?

Generally you go to 4 years of a college studying biology or something similar, then you apply to a medical program which can be at a number of different colleges and you'll end up going to school for another 4-8 years depending on what you want to do.
