Answer:
You don't become a surgeon by going to medical school, but you do get an MD or DO. You have to complete a general surgery residency in order to become a surgeon. The 4 years of medical school are expensive. Some medical schools charge a tuition of as much as 30-40 thousand a year (not including books, room and board). During residency, you actually get paid but not a lot. With each year of residency completed, the resident's salary increases but their salaries are usually around $50,000 a year.
