Tania’s Answer

To become an orthopedic surgeon it takes four years of college and four years of medical school with five years of residency. To further specialize in Orthopedics it does take a year or two of fellowship. There are certain things that you need to consider about lifestyle when thinking about being a surgeon. Moce orthopedic jobs Require call. Outside of lifestyle things the job or career it’s self is fantastic if you enjoy visual/spatial things As well as enjoy working with your hands. It is mentally challenging and gratifying.
