[Malpka]

7 years post med school training

(Word on the street is that Gyn Onc might change to a 4 year fellowship. It already is at some institutions. So....beware!)

It was already like that at a third of the places DH interviewed at 2 years ago I am glad we ended up here, even if some of the 4 year spots were in warmer and more exciting locales!

General Surgery = 5 years
Possibly fellowship = 2 years
7 years and we've just begun number 1 :|

[Ravenclaw]

We're at the beginning of his 3rd year in IM and he's not sure what to do next but definitely wants to further specialize or switch to a surgical field, so we're looking at probably 5-7 more years of training. Seems like it will never end at this rate.

[MrsC]

5 years of General Surgery.

We're in year 2

At the moment DH wants to stick with GS so no fellowships. He just wants to be done with training. Lets hope it stays that way!
