How long does it lug to become a common surgeon?
Answer:
4 years of college + 4 years of medical school + 5-8 years residency.
The length of residency is inconsistent because some residencies have required research years.
4 Years of undergraduate college
4 years of medical institution
5 years of residency
So about 13 years of college, but you get compensated (although only a small amount) during the 5 years of residency.
