How many years will take to become a surgeon?
Thanks for A2A!!The below answer is in the Indian context and I’m quite sure it applies more or less to rest of the world.So, you want to be a surgeon, eh?It takes around 6 years for a 17–18 year student who has finished intermediate / + 2 to complete MBBS if everything goes right.Once you finish MBBS, you need to appear for a competitive exam in the form of NEET-PG / AIIMS / PGI etc to secure a seat in the General Surgery residency / postgraduate program.It takes 3 years to finish this course.Once you are through, most surgeons straight after MS choose to work for a year or two as Senior Resident, a job which involves a surgeon to act as a bridge between the trainee residents and the faculty.You can always choose to stop at this stage, but a enthusiastic few move on to do fellowships / specialty courses in the form of MCh (super speciality) in India or abroad.Most fellowship courses are variable in length from 1–3 years.MCh course is more or less like a second postgraduate degree and lasts 3 years.Based on the local hospital policy, you may need to work for a year or two as a part of compulsory bond which you sign at the joining of the course.Again after this you may choose to stop here or go on to specialise in a single area of the human body. Robotic surgery, Ankle surgery, Neurovascular / skull base surgery etc.All in all, I would say it takes a good 14–16 years after your finish high school / 10th standard to become a consultant surgeon.This calculation works, if you manage most of your career without any hiccups smoothly and I must add that may not be the case in quite a few scenarios. Dropping a year or two for PG / MCh prep etcI joined medical school at 17 in 2008. Now 27, I’m yet a senior resident with quite a good number of years of training ahead of me.Good luck!Image source :A robot is training to become your next surgeon - Star2.com, AFP
How many years does it take to become a CA?
HiThere are two ways one can enter into CA.After Graduation.After 12th Class/PUC/+2.In the first case: You will have to spend 3 years/4 years for graduation. After that, you can register yourself for CA Intermediate and join the practical training (Articleship) which is for 3 years. You are eligible to appear for the CA Intermediate Exam after 9 months of articleship. Once you clear CA Intermediate, you are eligible to write CA Final after 2.5 years of articelship. Hopefully, you will clear all the exams in the first attempt. You clear CA in 3 (Graduation) + 3 (CA Intermediate, Articleship and CA Final) = 6 years.However, many people do not clear the exams in the first attempt. I know so many people who have been writing CA Intermediate even after their articleship as they do not clear. In such a case, the number of years that would take to complete the course depends on when you clear the exams.In the second case: After your 12th Class, you can enroll yourself for CA Foundation Course. Many students do their Foundation along with their 12th Class itself. CA Foundation exams are conducted within 2 months after 12th exams. Upon clearing, he has to write CA Intermediate Exams after 9 months. When he clears CA Intermediate, he can start articleship which is for 3 years. He can write CA Final after 2.5 years of articleship. Therefore, time taken to complete the course after 12th is 2 months (Foundation) + 9 months (Intermediate) + 3 Years (Articleship and CA Final) = 4 Years Approx.Again, there are people who don’t clear exams in the first attempt. When you complete CA depends on whether you clear the exams.The Pass % is usually below 30% for Foundation and below 10% for IPCC and Final. Therefore, average time taken by a student is about 8–9 years. That is only the average time. If you study well and clear the exams, you can do it in 4–5 years.
How many years after 12th do you become a CA?
You will take around 4 yrs to complete CA if you have done all the required course and cleared all the levels of exam in the first attempt and have not taken any drop in between.I can explain this with an example:Say you are giving your 12th board in March 2017, then you can appear for CPT in June 2017.After clearing CPT, your first attempt for IPCC would be May, 2018.After taking IPCC both group exams, you need to undergo 15 days Orientation program (which is merged with what we used to call GMCS 1 as per earlier guidelines) and 1 month ITT course conducted by ICAI only then you are eligible for articleship registration. You have to get yourself registered before 31st October, 2018 to avoid delay in your attempt.Once you are registered for articleship before 31st October, 2018, your final attempt would be due after 2.5 years.After appearing for CA Final exam in Nov 2021, you have to undergo GMCS and one month Advanced ITT course organised by ICAI.Submit all the required documents and apply for membership and become a proud Chartered Accountant.Thanks for updating me Tanya Sachdeva :)PS: The answer above is as per old syllabus and you should refer to the changes made in revised syllabus of CA.
How many years does it take to become a neurosurgeon?
At a minimum:4 years undergrad + 4 years medical school + 7 years residency = 15 years of training.More realistically:4 years undergrad + 1 year gap year + 5 years medical school + 7 years residency = 17 years of training.Why the discrepancy in the "more realistically" estimate? Well, the average age of the entering medical student is increasing with the median age at 24. About 2/3 of my class took at least one year off between undergrad and medical school. Neurosurgery is also a competitive residency, which demands a strong research foundation. That's why a large number of medical students interested in applying to neurosurgery programs take a research year in medical school to more thoroughly explore the field and prepare their CVs. Some opt for another graduate degree (masters or PhD) prior to applying.

How many years does it take to become an RN?Is it 2?And to become an BSN is 4 right?Some body help me out.?
Here's some absolute clarification for you: RN is 'Registered Nurse' and that's a license you get from the state (not from a college) after you pass the state's licensing exam. You are allowed to take the RN exam if you have a 2 year Associates in Nursing (ASN), a 4 year Bachelor's in Nursing (BSN), or a 6 year Master's in Nursing (MSN); it's the same RN exam either way and you get the same RN license from the state. The ASN, BSN, and MSN are college degrees (not job titles) and they will determine the level of nursing assignments you are eligible to accept. The higher the assignment, the more you get paid. But, you're still an RN either way. The best jobs will require the master's degree and have titles like Family Nurse Practitioner or Nurse Anesthetist with salaries nearing $100K per year. They are still an RN - they just have more training than most RNs. As an ASN nurse you will be able to take jobs with titles like general duty nurse or medical/surgical nurse. Many work in skilled care facilities (nursing homes) or home services. As a BSN nurse you will be able to take assignments with titles like L&D nurse, ICU nurse (with some special training), mental health nurse (with some special training), and nurse supervisor or head nurse. The pay is, of course, higher than a general duty or technical nurse. You can also accept assignments as a general duty nurse. This means there are many more options for the RN who has a BSN. So, what you're looking at here are three very different things that are related to each other: 1) RN is the license from the state 2) ASN, BSN, MSN, and DSN are college degrees that allow you to get the RN license and a specific job. 3) Nursing jobs are determined by your license and your additional education and training. The more education and training, the more options you have and generally higher pay. With this in mind, RN vs BSN is not a "which is better" question. ASN vs BSN or LPN vs RN are "which is better" questions. The answer depends entirely upon what you want to do with your education and license.
How many years of college does it take to become a physiologist?
Hi Elizabeth. I think you mean a psychologist, that is one who has a Ph.D. or Psy.D. degree in psychology. A person needs to earn a bachelors degree (4 yrs). Then be admitted to graduate school after taking the Graduate Record Exam (GRE), and making a full application. Upon acceptance, you will begin work on a thesis (1/2 of your dissertation), receive your masters degree (2-3 yrs), and then earn your Ph.D. or Psy.D. degree. You will also need to be licensed by the state board, and APA (American Psychological Association) approval (of your graduate program) is vital. Many graduate programs are available, but if they do not offer APA endorsed coursework, you will not be able to get licensed to practiced anywhere! Hope this helps. I recommend you meet with a career counselor in Career Services to discuss this further. Also, you will want to meet regularly with an academic advisor to stay on track. Best wishes.
How many years does it take to become a complete doctor, including specialization?
In the US becoming a physician requires a bachelors degree including specific prerequesite coursework in biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics, followed by four years at medical . Upon completion of medical school one is awarded a degree of “Doctor of Medicine” (MD) or “Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine” (DO) depending on the school attended.In order to become a licensed physician however, the doctor must take a licensing exam the USMLE for MDs or the COMLEX for DOs. Both tests are taken in three parts (the first two during medical school) and the third part after completion a year as a medical intern.That’s right, becoming a licenced physician requires even more training. At least one year internship to take the final licensing exam after which the physician can apply for a license, hang a shingle and start practicing. Most don’t do this though, and pursue specialty training in a specific residency.Residencies range from 3 years for many primary care specialties to 5 years for surgery.After residency, many docs will pursue a fellowship which is even more specialized training which can be another 1–5 years depending on the field.All in all, medical training is a minimum 11 years after high school.
