Are there any physical requirements to get into medical school and become a Doctor??

Unfortunately, while med schools may not have any limitations, medical licensing boards do. As you can imagine, some physicians want to work until they drop dead. As a result, most of the state medical licensing boards have developed clauses that require a physician have the physical ability to perform all tasks required of their specialty. You haven’t indicated what state you are from or I would have cited your state’s statute. I am going to provide you with a link to the Federation of State Medical Licensing Boards which will have a link for your state’s medical board and any state you might be interested in. Medical training is arduous, so I hope your condition is diagnosed and resolved before you start. But there have been people who have obtained their MDs with more severe limitations than you have described, so don’t abandon your dream.
