The only way to become a doctor is to go through medical school. A medical school will not let you transfer any credits from any other program into their school. They want understand that they have taught you how to be a doctor by their own rights. This includes taking their classes their way as a part of their specific curriculum. No one can test into a med-schools curriculum. Only credits from another med-school have a chance of transferring, and only then is it a chance, not a guarantee. A med-school has to be tough like that because you are required to meet certain requirements through their class curriculum in order to graduate by a national board standard of accreditation.

Anyone who goes to medical school and meets the other requirements for education and training can become a doctor. If you mean without all that, no.
