To become a primary care physician (PCP), one typically needs to complete a bachelor's degree, followed by a medical degree from an accredited medical school. After medical school, they must complete a residency program in primary care, which usually lasts three years. Additionally, aspiring PCPs must pass licensing examinations and may choose to become board-certified in family medicine, internal medicine, or pediatrics, depending on their focus area. Continuing education is also essential to maintain licensure and stay updated on medical advancements.
