The Phantom: What kind of education is needed to be a foreign missionary doctor?
I always have been interested in the medical field and I am planning to be a missionary. I was wondering what kind of education should I need if I were to help people out in public. In another way, what kind of education would you need to be a clinical doctor like when you get a checkup or when your sick with the flu.

You would need to go through medical school like any other doctor, which takes anywhere from 12-16 years depending on your specialty.
After you have your license to practice medicine, your best bet would be to check into working with an organization such as the Peace Corps or Doctors Without Borders.
Best of luck to you.
