Hey everyone,
I have a few questions regarding trauma surgery.
1. What are the residency requirements for becoming a trauma surgeon? Is it 5 years of general surgery followed by a 3 year residency in trauma surgery?
2. Someone told me you can do a 5 year residency in orthopedics and then another 3 years in trauma surgery, is this true?
3. I know this question gets bashed around on here, but what is the average salary of a trauma surgeon compared to say an orthopedic surgeon? I mean is the extra training to become a trauma surgeon rewarded by a higher salary?
Thanks for your help as I know everyone is busy on here,
Nick
