Surgeons Burlington VT
General surgeons are doctors who evaluate the need for surgery and are qualified to operate on the following areas: abdomen, alimentary tract, soft tissue, endocrine system, head, and neck. Additionally, these individuals may perform burn trauma, oncology, and vascular surgeries but do not take part in complicated operations, which consist of operating on heart and brain. A surgical diagnosis requires pre-operative, operative and post-operative care for surgical patients. General surgeons often choose a specialty. They need to go through surgical residency programs that generally last five years and must also take licensing examinations and earn board certification in their areas of specialization.

Board Certification
Board certification requires a physician to complete training in a residency program and pass an examination in the field. The American Board of Surgery (ABS) tests and certifies eligible individuals in the specialty field of general surgery. Physicians must fulfill the following requirements to obtain board certification:
Education and Training
- Completion of undergraduate and graduate education (a baccalaureate degree and a medical degree)
- Completion of a 5-year residency program in general surgery. This includes specialized knowledge of the abdomen; alimentary tract (digestive organs); breast, skin, and soft tissue; comprehensive trauma management; critical care; endocrine system; head and neck; surgical oncology (management of screening, surveillance, surgical therapy, rehabilitation, and follow-up with cancer patients); and vascular (circulatory) system.
- Residency program requirements differ for each of the surgical specialty areas; for example, thoracic surgery requires 5 years of general surgery training plus 2 years of training in cardiovascular and thoracic surgery. For more information about residency requirements for each specialty, visit the American College of Surgeons websit...
