∙ 11y agoIn the U.S. you need to complete a surgical residency, which takes at least 5 years (longer for some types of surgeons).
You need to complete medical school and college which usually each take 4 years. There are some programs that combine both of those into a 6 year course and some people graduate from college in 3 years.
So it takes from 11 to 13 years after high school graduation. If you graduate high school at 18 you can be a surgeon between the ages of 29 to 31, sooner if you graduate earlier and later if you take time to do research or pursue other activities or go into some surgical fields.
