Best Answer

The Surgeon General serves a four-year term of office and is the highest ranking uniformed officer of the PHSCC, holding the grade of a three-star Vice Admiral while in office. However, the Surgeon General reports to the United States Assistant Secretary for Health, who himself may hold the rank of a four-star admiral within the Public Health Service Commisioned Corps.

How long can it take for a general surgeon to be a cardiovascular surgeon?

Believe it or not, general surgery is considered a medical surgical specialty. A general surgeon would have trained specifically for that scope of practice so it is hard to compare two specialties. It is, however, common for general surgeons to undertake a more specialised role (i.e. cardiovascular surgeon). In most institutions, you will have to start from scratch and restart your surgeon's training.
