To become a surgeon, and thus practice surgery, one must first get a four year college degree. Then, you go on to medical school, which is another four year program, followed by several years of residency before you can begin practicing as a surgeon.\n\nThus, if you're interested in becomming a surgeon, and don't yet have a college degree, that is your first step. You will want to find a college that has strong science programs, especially in chemistry and biology, although it is not necessary to major in science in order to apply to medical school.\n\nThere are many great colleges in Georgia. A good place to start your college search is: http://gacollege411.org/  There, you'll find a list of colleges in Georgia, plus information about financial aid, preparing to apply to college, and standardized tests.\n\nIf you'd like to learn more about becomming a doctor and surgeon, these three sites are jam packed with information about the process of preparing for and applying to medical school:\n\nhttp://prehealth.uchicago.edu/handbook/toc.html\n\nhttp://www.amherst.edu/~sageorge/health.html\n\nhttp://hpap.syr.edu/intsites.htm\n\nIf you're already enrolled in college, I'd suggest you talk with the pre-med advisor at your college who can give you some specific suggestions regarding which medical school in Georgia might be suitable for you.\n\nGood luck!

Becoming any type of doctor takes a lot of work. Normally you will do about 12 years of schooling, starting at regular 4-year college/university. Doctors don't take home a wage, but a salary and depending where you're at in your career will depend. But most doctors make good money, but there are long hours.

4 years of college, 4 years of medical school to get an M.D. degree.  After that, though, you need to complete an internship (usually 1 year) and residency (3-7 years) to become a licensed practicing physician.  You don't need to major in science, but you do need to complete certain prerequisite courses (Chemistry, Biology, Organic Chem, Physics, etc.) in order to qualify for the MCAT examination which is required for medical school admissions.  Good luck!

To get your M.D. or D.O. you need a minimum of 8 years of school, four years of undergraduate and four years of Professional (medical) school. In very rare occasions, you can be accepted to a medical school before earning your undergraduate degree, but this is extremely, rare (I mean extremely).

Doctors, or physicians, are specially trained and licensed individuals who practice medicine. A doctor may be either a doctor of medicine (M.D.) or a doctor of osteopathy (D.O.). Osteopathy uses traditional medicine but focuses on the role of muscles and bones in health and disease. A doctor's job has three parts. First, the doctor must diagnose, or identify, what is making a person sick. Second, the doctor must decide how to treat the problem. Finally, the doctor offers a prognosis, or a prediction of the patient's chances of recovery. Doctors also try to prevent illnesses. In addition to doctors, the medical team includes nurses, therapists, physician assistants, and emergency medical technicians.\n\n\nA doctor's education and training are intensive. In the United States, a student spends three to four years in college and then another three to four years in medical school. After graduating from medical school, the student serves as a resident in a hospital. During this period the student receives practical training in a specific area under the guidance of experienced doctors. Residency can last three to seven years, depending on the specialty. Doctors can specialize in areas such as internal medicine, family medicine, or general surgery.

My husband is a third year med student in the US.  He'll go through a total of four years as a student.  (Split in half, two years in classroom, two years doing clinical rotations with preceptors.)  Then he'll do an intern year followed by a 3 year long residency.  He's going into IM and Peds.  Other specialities have differing residency lengths.  A board certified residency is required for licensing in the US, along with passing the USMLE exams along the way.  \n\nIs this similar to the education for docs in the UK?\n\nIf it's similar, I wouldn't have a problem with it.  In all, it's at least 8 years worth of post-graduate schooling/training.  That's adequate for a family care doc.  Surgeons in the US have longer residencies.  I'd imagine it would be the same in the UK, too. \n\nBut please, correct me if I'm wrong.  It's certainly happened before!

There are 17 schools and colleges of optometry in the U.S.  These are 4-year programs for doctor of optometry (O.D.) degrees.  If you're interested in becoming an M.D., you'll have to do 4 years of medical school, then a residency in ophthalmology.  If you think it's something you're interested in, talk to your local eye doctor to see if you could chat and/or shadow him/her for a day.
