∙ 11y agoIn the Unites States it requires usually (but not always) 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, and at least 5 years of residency - so usually 13 years after high school.
Many orthopedists then do more training, called a fellowship, in a more specific area such as the spine or the hand.
In other countries the training may vary somewhat but is usually fairly similar.
