Can you tell how I become a general surgeon,how many years?

I know that first I have to complete a pre med bachelor that I will do it in biology.And then.????
Answer:
I don't know how many of these answers come from outside the US, but to become a board certified general surgeon in the US, you do as follows. 4 years of undergrad (with a few very rare exceptions), 4 years of med school (M.D. or D.O.) and then a minimum of 5 years of residency. Most general surgery residencies sneak a year or two of research in on you so it's more like 6 or 7 years. You can specialize (cardiothoracic, vascular) after a fellowship on top of your residency that takes 1-3 more years. Go follow a surgeon around and make absolutely sure you want to be one. It is EXTREMELY challenging, and unless you are sure it is your calling in life you should look into something else so you don't become another miserable surgeon who is overworked and underpaid.

after 4 years in biology, you'll spend another 4 years in medical school, then 2 years post grad internship, then 4 years residency training in surgery. about 14 years, including your premed

Then... Take the MCAT medical school entrance (which you will do before your graduation). Doing hospital volunteer work is a good idea as well. Get top grades. Never never give up.
Good luck

It depends on how you go.. the fastest way is to get straight into medicine at university. this means doing the appropriate subjects during high school or junior college whichever applies to you. Medicine is normally 5 years, a double degree mind you. After that you have to do really well, like top 5% at least depending on your cohort to be able to specialise in surgery. General surgeon? Probably easier though. But anyways before you're a fully qualified surgeon it'll take another 5 years. So youre looking at 10 years of studying in University!
Best of luck!!
