How long does it take to become a senior doctor?

A senior doctor is essentially a consultant, or GP. The training AFTER med school finishes ranges from 5 years (GP) to over 11 for many surgical specialities... Not counting research. Before that level you are still counted as 'junior' even if you are highly experienced.

I won't confuse the issue by mentioning staff grades...!

Edit- apologies. Just noticed that you posted this in the US site.... My figures are for the UK. Ignore me.

You need to have a little gray at the temples and wrinkles at the lateral corners of the eyes. A beer belly does not count.

In pediatrics you are a senior doctor when grandmothers no longer give you static.

All this assumes that with age comes knowledge.

It takes alot of time an dpractice in schooling. I wish to be a nurse and i'm presently attending vocational excessive school. You must complete excessive tuition and do atleast four years of university.

7 years in university

You need A-A* in Biology, Chemistry, Physics
