After completing MBBS how to join as a surgeon?
Hi, First, you will need to become a medical doctor (general practitioner). Becoming a medical doctor requires, depending on the state/country you live in, that you obtain a premedical science degree and follow it up with a medical degree. Some medical schools combine these two degrees into a single degree.
Second, you would be wise to gain practical experience for at least a number of years as a general practitioner before considering specializing in one of the branches of medicine.
Third, you’ll have to apply for admission as a candidate to the training program of the surgical department of a medical school. The admission criteria for a trainee as a general surgeon are strict and competition is usually fierce.
You will also require a minimum experiemce of 5 years and above.
Good Luck.
