Do you go through mock surgeries before you become a official doctor?

Question:

I was just wondering cause if you just know it by reading the books.WOW! Bravo! I can barely remember anything I learned in Chem lab and to tell me to do a lab w/o text 10 years later.I'm dead.Lol.

Answers:
Technically, every person who has the title M.D. should have gone through at least 12 weeks of surgery training. As a medical student, you are more than likely participating, but not actually performing the surgery. You are right beside the surgeon, retracting skin, putting on surgical clamps, putting in sutures, etc. But you are not actually doing the surgery.

Above, I say 'technically' because not everyone that is a doctor in the U. S. is trained in the United States. Therefore, it is up to the state that licenses the doctor to determine the quality / quantity of their prior training overseas.

Soooooo, to answer your question. You do go through REAL surgeries, not MOCK ones.

Nope, you read/study the book, then observe the professionals, then do it under their supervision.

Doctors of medicine have to go through intensive courses. They do work on cadavers to get ready for the real thing. They have to be interns in the hospitals and work 24 hour shifts while under supervision. If they don't make it through all that, the aren't doctors.

Yes when you are an intern you learn all that good information..

no you are an unoffical doctor till you become a real dotor

i think

i believe they may do some procedure's with cadavers. but the do a lot of observing and assisting.
