Well, if you count residency it is 11-12 years after high school on average. Your four year bachelors (I did mine in 3.5 years, some take 5 or more, so that varies), four years of med school, and then a 3-4 year residency.
Specialies are numerous. The main ones are surgery, internal med, pediatrics, and family practice.
The first three all subspecialize as well.
Surgery has specialites in several organ systems, neurosugery, orthopedics, colorectal, cardiothoracic, vascular, OB/Gyn, opthalmology, and urology.
Internal med and pediatrics both subdivide by system as well, neurology, cardiology, GI, endocrinology, nephrology, pulmonology, etc. there are many more, but those are the main ones.
