Surgeons Detroit MI

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.

Education and Training

  • Completion of undergraduate and graduate education (a baccalaureate degree and a medical degree)

  • 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.
