Does option 1 even exist? I mean, undergrad -> postdoc seems to be skipping a required step, that being: be a doctor. Hence the name 'postdoc'.
After completing an undergraduate degree in medicine, are you really a doctor?
Sort of. You can be an almost-family doctor; that is, you'll have most responsabilities one has. If you want to become a full-family doctor, you do your residency. If, however, you plan on becoming a specialist, you must do a residency.
So to actually practice, you do a residency, but even without one you're a doctor who really shouldn't be practicing?
As I said, you can practice without doing a residency but you'll only be able to do some family medicine stuff.
Yes, in the UK at least you study for 6 years doing basically your undergraduate, though you can leave after 3.
