Hi Justin! Hope you are well! In order to become a surgeon, you have to take some pre-med courses in college. Then, after college, you complete 4 years of medical school. Then, once you finish medical school, you do a residency specializing in surgery. When you are in medical school you will have rotations, including a surgery one, so you can see if you like it! Also, the classes you take in college would be your typically pre-med ones such as biology, chemistry, anatomy, and a math class. Hope this helps :)
Thank you for the great answer.

I agree with the prior answer : focus on doing as well as you can in College and look at ways to enhance your personal development- in order to be accepted to Medical School, you need to be a well rounded person (most of all!), smart and able to make sacrifices to reach your dream.
Best of luck!
Thank you for your advice.

First you will need to do all of your general classes. Once this is completed whichever school you are deciding to go to ask the student advisor to go over with you what options they have for what you want to do. Also what type of surgeon do you want to be you will need to know.
Thank you for the advice.
