LOS ANGELES, Feb. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Even after years of study in college, there remains one big hurdle before a medical student can achieve the goal of becoming a doctor. That, of course, is the need to serve in a residency for a period usually ranging from 3 to 7 years, depending on specialty.

They had to apply to various universities, who then determined if those prospective students were a match for their medical programs.
