Re: what kind of education do surgeons need

First, you need to get into medical school. After that, little of your 
college studies are very important. The only important thing is to get 
into medical school. Admission to a medical school requires good college 
grades, some medical or social-good related volunteer experience and it 
helps to be identified as a "minority" applicant.

You can start now by getting information from various medical schools to 
see what they are looking for in the way of applicants. Currently, it 
would not be good to admit to wanting to be a surgeon or any other 
specialist. Medical schools are more impressed by those who say they want 
to be primary care doctors and help poor people in the inner city or out 
in the country.
