Posted by Jose,

To become a surgeon, like any other physician, you must first complete an undergraduate, or bachelor’s degree before attending medical school to complete a doctorate of medicine, M.D., or a doctorate of osteopathy, D.O.. This can take up to eight years of continuous study to complete both the undergraduate and  medical degrees. However, this process can be shortened to about 6 or 7 years by combining the two. By completing these course you may think that you are now ready to start looking at surgeon jobs, but this is not the case. You still need to attend a surgical residency program which normally is another 5 years. To qualify for surgeon jobs takes an enormous amount of dedication.
