Jessica, dear, if you marry the surgeon, you do not BECOME a doctor. You become a doctor's wife. Requirements for that include manicured nails, gorgeous hair, going to the gym and looking fabulous. Learn how to spend money, decorate a large home and choose exotic vacation deatinations.
If you marry a surgeon, make sure you call into the OR during surgery and whine at the OR nurses. They love that.
Uniform: high heels and short skirts with low cut tops. And lots and lots of real gold jewelry.
I know you can do it!

Jessica,
I know you just finished high school and will be going into college. If you are really serious about becoming physicians, you need to do some research about the profession and how to get into the profession.
You have asked some very inappropriate questions that either should be known or looked up by someone who is actually interested in going into medicine, or something that are just outright, well, not smart.
This is one of those questions. Marrying a doctor will not make you a doctor, and you should know that. It does not take a genius to figure out that MD is not granted to someone by marriage. You should also know that the road to become a doctor is never easy, and it is not any easier after becoming a doctor. It is a life-long committment, and if you can not accept the idea that becoming and being a doctor will require very hard work, then you should not be one.
If you want the easy route, marrying one is much easier on your life. You are a pretty girl, and there will be plenty of surgeons and doctors looking for a trophy wife like yourself. If you want to use your beauty and add some brain to that, so you can actually do something useful with your life, you will really need to work hard.
Go volunteer in the hospital this summer or go work in a doctor's office. Learn something about the profession before you jump in. There are too many kids wanting to be doctor at high school level, and hardly any made it that far. In my high school class, only 3 or 4 became doctors, out of 800 people. I was pretty sure that when I was there, at least 20-30 people wanted to become physicians. Even in college, 3/4 of the premed students could not make it through. If you know you are not able to commit to it, save yourself the work and forget about the profession.
It is the honest advice for you. It is a hard pill to swallow, but it is better for someone to tell you upfront, rather than have you regret for going through all the school and then hating your life and your profession.

Of course, getting a medical degree. You can't be a medical doctor just because you married a surgeon. Thats ridiculous.
I think you better look for someone to advice you on this. Maybe, you can find some agents who can link you into medical degree, giving you informations on the universities, the price, duration, places, accomodation and etc.. Maybe its not the best way.
But, I get into medical line through agents who consult me and give me informations. I also just came out of my high school and I wanted to be a doctor and this is the way I get to know about informations on te universities.

You won't become a doctor just because you marry one. You have to go to medical school and pass the medical boards in the state where you want to practice (or the USMLE). You should probably do a residency and internship as well. Then you'll be a doctor.

Marrying a surgeon may have to repeated several times - and after the first time, it can become *extremely* difficult.
Getting your own doctorate, however, is permanent. Even if you lose your license to practice medicine, you're still entitled to be called "Doctor".

There are two problems with this question.
a) Marrying a surgeon doesn't make you a doctor.
b) I don't think anyone would go to a doctor that took the easiest route.

Judging from some of your other questions, I can see you as a surgeon's ex-wife. Go for it.

I liked the cosmetology suggestion, perhaps you should pursue this route, and just marry the doctor.

All I know is I don't want to be treated by a doctor who took the easiest way possible.
