A: FROM MENTOR DR. DESIREE BUTTER. To

The answer is that it varies. Some trauma surgeons
who work qute a
bit in the emergency room go to college for 4 years, medical
school for 4
years and then surgical residencies of up to 7-12 years. However,
these
physicians spend most of their time in the operating room
and their office.
They only come to the emergency room when called for traumas.
The
emergency room physicians who only work in the emergency room
typically do
either emergency medicine or family practice residencies which
are both 3
years in length.
