probably a tech- 6 months to 2 years depending on the program. $20k-ish a year. pre-med is a bachelors degree, then you go on to another 3 years of med school then rotations. good luck.

You question is too huge–there are a lot of medical professions.
The shortest (less than 1 year training) are things like CNA, MA, phlebotomist and the technician jobs like pharm tech, lab technician & the assistant jobs (physical therapy assistant etc); then a associates RN; the the 1-2 years after a bachelors: occupational therapy, lab technologist, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, xray, MRI, CT & sonogram techs etc; then the masters levels (physician assistants, nurse practitioners etc); last are the MD/PhD levels (pharmacists, all MDs, psychologists, etc).
The schooling undergrad goes : 2 years associates, 4 years bachelors (these must be the “pre-health”); masters is 2 years; med school is 4 years; residency is 3 to 10 years.
If you start googling health careers, looking at want adds, etc you will see many listed.
