i’m a pilot, and i always wanted to be a doctor. so is there a way to study medicine on my own. something like books or online courses and be tested or have an exam to get a degree from anywhere in the world. i would go to any place for exams. i just need to study on my own.
any advice ?
** i am starting from zero. last thing i studied was in high school (SAT II biology test)

As far as I know, there are ways that you can study and learn on your own (e.g. books, online podcasts, iTunes U, etc.), but there is no way to obtain a professional license or certificate in a health care field without official training, clinical experience, and passing exams.
There are "hybrid" online/in person courses for some lower level health care professionals, and you might be able to become an EMT, paramedic, or even a nurse that way.
I would suggest that you ask at the Student Doctor forums about ways that a "non-traditional" student can become a doctor.
