This depends on several different factors including your country of training, institution and what type of surgeon you wish to become.
In New Zealand, surgeons begin training as ordinary doctors. They work through their medical degree first then undergo residency training like all doctors. Once this has been completed, they can apply for a specialist residency training followed by a fellowship with the Royal Australasian College of Surgeons. The NZ medical degree (called the MBChB) takes six years of full time study to complete. Residency takes about 1-2 years while Fellowship training can reach up to 7 years or more.
