Question About Residency While Training To Become A Doctor?
I am planning pursuing a career as a surgeon when I graduate from high school. I know that I need 4 years of college, then 4 years of medical school, and then 5-7 years of residency. My question is if you are a general doctor during those years of residency since you work in a hospital? Supposedly you are still studying for your goal to become a surgeon, but during those residency years, do you help people, examine them, run tests, etc. as a doctor?
