In school one should take Science subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Health Science. Once schooling is over you join the Medical School for about 6 years, and then train as a General Surgeon by doing Residency and Fellowship which will take another 7 years to complete the training

After high school, four years of college are required, culminating in a bachelor's degree (of any choice) plus completion of pre-med requirements, 2 years chemistry, 1-2 years biology, 1 year physics, plus calculus. Then comes four years of medical school. After medical school graduation comes four years of surgery residency training - in order to prepare for a career in general surgery.
