It takes more than just going to college to become an orthopaedic surgeon. I believe the question was more likely how many years of education and that can depend on a few factors but for the most part it is as follows: 4 years of College 4 years of Medical School (Graduate School) 5 years of Residency in Orthopaedics 1 year of Fellowship Training in a particular area of interest (not required) So it can be as quick (or as long) as 13 years

∙ 14y agoIt would take four years for The Bachelor's degree with completion of all prerequisite coursework required by medical schools and four years of medical school. While many individuals who pursue a career as a physician major in biology at the undergraduate level, many others come from a variety of other educational backgrounds. You should meet with a career counselor at the college or university you attend for what options exist for you. The important issue is acquiring the appropriate prerequisites required for medical school. The student should have a strong background in the following areas.
- Biology (cell biology, biology of the organism)
- Chemistry (inorganic, organic)
- Physics
- Communication (written and oral)
- Higher level math's
- Computer literacy
- Development of good critical thinking skills.
Following the bachelor's degree, would be four years of medical school to obtain the MD or DO degree. There will also be an additional three or more years to complete the internship and residency requirements depending on the specialty.

Could you be a nurse while waiting to be a pediatrician?
One could become a nurse before beginning medical school. Becoming a nurse is not likely to greatly help in attaining admission to medical school, and some medical schools may not look at your application very favorably, as there is a very serious nursing shortage in this country. If you want to become a physician, become a physician. If you want to become a nurse, become a nurse. Do not go to nursing school with the intent to become a physician later, as your application to nursing school will take a spot away from a person who actually wants to practice nursing.
