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)
