the youngest doctor in the world

Balamurali Ambati became the youngest doctor in the world after graduating at age 17 from Mt. Sinai School of Medicine in 1995. He completed an ophthalmology residency at Harvard University and a fellowship in cornea and refractive surgery at Duke University. He practices and teaches at the University of Utah. 
Suzann Pershing graduated from Sonoma State University in 2002 when she was 14 and from Medical School of South Carolina when she was 18. She is currently a resident of ophthalmology at Stanford University. 
Recently in June 2008, Heenal Raichura, MBBS, B.Sc., from Britain (United Kingdom) became one of the youngest doctors in the world at the age of 22, with additional degree of BSc. (Anatomy and Developmental Biology) from the University College of London, having spent 6 years at the University. 
Heenal entered St. George's Medical School at the age of 16. In UK, the minimum age requirement for admission to a medical school is 18 years, and the course is of 5 years. Any extra degree would require studying for further period. 
Had Heenal Raichura not done additional B.Sc degree, she would have been qualified as a doctor at the age of 21 instead of 22. 
============================================================ 
My daughter was also 22 (and 5 months) when she grduated in Medicine from Glasgow. She may be abut to come the UK's youngest consultant, or at least the youngest consultant in Psychiatry, unless someone knows different . 


My friend graduated from Dubai Medical College aged just 20 years & went on to to become a member of the royal college of physicians aged 24 & then a member of the royal college of pathologists aged 29. She completed her training in the UK in hematology by January 2010 at the age of 31 therefore becoming eligible to become a consultant by then - I bet that is the youngest! 

I'm a Consultant physician in Respiratory medicine and am 31 yrs old. If you train in the UK you can achieve this if you simply obtain all posts (PRHO/ SHO/ SpR) at the first opportunity and are successful in your interviews. It helps to also do any research/ further MD/ Masters whilst doing your SpR training (now called ST training) rather than taking time out for this.
