Half a decade?
In France Medical Doctors require 6 years of externship, 4 years of internship + various amount of years depending on the specialization up to 5 (?) for example for neurology.
It's also the population that lead to the most suicides due to how intense the expectations are and failure will lead you to tenures you don't want (There is a spot for everyone but not where you want and on the speciality you want, even though we are lacking doctors ...)
I wanted to say decade but I know someone would say "you don't need to do 10 years, you are only in school 6 in my country".
So, I said 'more than half-a-decade' because that is essentially the absolute minimum that nobody can be pedantic about.
