Plastic Surgeon Information?

Question

Hello,

Can anyone give me the exact steps I have to take to becoming a plastic surgeon? What course do I have to take in college, what do I have to major in? What are the next steps.

Please Help. I am very confused and I don't know who to ask.

Thank you.

You need a 4 year Bachelor’s degree in some science, then another 4 years of medical school (wew!), so a total of 8 years of formal education. I t doesn’t stop there you must do residency training in hospital depending on your specialty. So add another four plus years of on the job training. Hopefully, you won’t give up and became a good plastic surgeon. Also, try to look  at profiles of surgeon like dr. calvert of http://www.jaycalvertmd.com, see what organization he or they belong, it helps as well.
