Careers in surgery are some of the most intense careers there are, because every single day that you're at work people's lives are in your hands. Imagine standing for several hours at a time, focusing intently all the while, performing intricate sets of actions on the internal organs of someone's body. The kind of discipline that this job takes is nothing short of astounding.
The primary career in surgery, of course, is that of the surgeon. A surgeon is basically any medical doctor who cuts open human bodies and fixes up or takes out parts of those bodies, and then closes them up so patients may heal. There are general surgeons who perform operations all over the body, and specialized surgeons who focus on a part of the anatomy that's especially complex--heart surgeons and brain surgeons would probably be the two most famous examples. In order to become a surgeon, a person must get a bachelor's degree, then complete medical school, and then earn a doctorate of osteopathy degree.
All together, that's about eight years of higher education--one year more than it takes to become a regular medical doctor. Once a candidate earns his or her D.O. degree, then that person must complete a residency program for about five years. This is the stage where a surgeon decides what kind of surgery to go into: general surgery, neurosurgery, cardiac surgery or some other option.
There are also fellowships available to those who've completed their residency programs; fellowships offer the chance to acquire additional, often specialized skills. Often, brain and heart surgeons will opt to go through a fellowship before starting a career. Because this training takes so long, it's rare that the person who operates on you in a hospital will be younger than thirty-five years old.
In general, surgeons work about fifty or sixty hours every week. They are often scheduled for surgery four or five days a week, but they're also on call all the time and are often assigned to emergency surgical procedures. Surgeons not only have to operate on patients, but they also have to oversee patient recuperation in many instances, and perform administrative tasks as well. Of course, the benefits of being a surgeon are tremendous. They are often among the highest paid of all medical professionals, and they are also highly respected members of society. Moreover, they save lives on a daily basis, and very professionals of any kind can say that about their work.
Other careers in surgery include surgical assistants, rehabilitation specialists who help patients recover from surgeons, surgical lab technicians who prepare the instruments for surgery and lay them out for the surgeon, and operating room nurses. All these positions are incredibly important to a successful surgical outcome, and surgeons rely heavily on the people in these positions to do their jobs effectively. As such, these careers are often both very rewarding and at times very stressful.
