How long does it take to qualify as a surgeon?

Answer 1

It depends on the specialty, but it can range anywhere from 13 years minimum of postsecondary education to about 17 years maximum (that's with subspecialization). The shortest road to become a surgeon is to become a General Surgeon. (4 yrs undergrad + 4 yrs med school + 5 yrs residency) The longest road to become a surgeon is to probably become a Neurosurgeon who specializes in something. (4 yrs undergrad + 4 yrs med school + 7 yrs residency + 2 yrs fellowship)

Answer 2

First, you need an undergraduate degree (in absolutely anything, although you'll need certain science courses as med school pre-requisites). Most people do that in 4 years, but with AP credits and summer courses, you could do it in 3. Medical school is 4 years. It's the same 4 years regardless of what specialty you are interested in.
stick a neeedle in you and call you done.

Answer 3

In general, it takes a degree from a 4-year university, 4 years of medical school, and a 5 year residency. That's 13 years after high school or 9 after college, depending on when you want to start counting "how long it takes".

Answer 4

it really depends on what kind of surgeon you wanna be. Since surgeons jobs are super hard it usually takes them around maybe 10 years to finish if you want a doctoral degree.
