Curious about Pediatric Surgery: What does it take to become one?

Hi PedsRN! Becoming a pediatric surgeon is definitely a challenging but rewarding career path. First, you'll need to complete four years of undergraduate education, followed by four years of medical school. After that, you'll complete a five-year general surgery residency, and finally a two-year pediatric surgery fellowship. It's a long road, but the opportunity to make a positive impact on children's lives is immeasurable.
