No, in order to become a surgeon, a medical student must obtain either the Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree or Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) degree after four years of medical school. Additionally, to become a surgeon the physician must go on to be licensed and undergo residency training and this process can take several years to complete.
