First you need to go to a 4 yr college to get your Bachelor's degree. Then you go to med school for 4 years to get your M.D. After you finish med school, you need to do residency, which can vary in length from 5-7 years depending on the specialty you choose. Fellowships, which are subspecialization programs, vary in length from 1-3 years and you do those after residency. Overall these are the major tests you need to take to become a surgeon: 1. MCAT (in your undergrad college) 2. USMLE Part 1 and 2 (in med school) 3. USMLE Part 3 (residency) 4. Board Certification (end of residency) So 5 major exams in all pretty much
