Answers:
Well, first off you swot how to write correct English.
You major in a pre-med course of study. Many pre-med students get a BS level in biochemistry, zoology, or biology. Some universities have a scope program in pre-med.
Then you go to medical school where on earth you learn all aspects of human physiology and anatomy and medicine. You'll do an internship and afterwards do a residency in cardiology.
This could be six to eight years beyond your BS degree in a pre-med program.
This is thoroughly expensive, and many savvy young people who want to become physicians will craft a commitment to serve in the US military after med school and the government will salary their medical school tuition back.
If you are considering this as a field, remember that until you start medical school, you really won't have any conception of whether cardiology is for you. Most medical school students RARELY, if ever, go into the field they thought they needed to before doing clinical rotations, as you simply can't know enough about a pen as specific as cardiology.
The income of a cardiologist right now is between 300-400K. For better or worse (I'm not really sure what my take is), fields close to cardiology that have a lot of procedures are compensated more highly by insurance companies. However, if Obamacare is passed, this paradigm may shift and procedure-heavy field like cardio may see major pay cuts, while primary protection fields could potentially see rising incomes (based on his rhetoric. In my view, incomes will drop ACROSS the board).
Bachelor's Degree (completing prerequisite courses for medical school)
Medical Degree ( this can be obtained from either a Allopathic university of medicine (they award M.D.'s) or an Osteopathic School of Medicine (awarding D.O.'s)).
In your fourth year of medical school you interview at different residency programs and then footing them in the order that you would prefer to work at. A residency program is essentially a continuation of medical school where on earth you learn only about a positive field of medicine and are paid rather bit (usually around 40 grand per year).
To be a cardiologist you would want to do your residency in Internal Medicine (which is typically three years long). After completing your residency you would want to do a fellowship (which is essentially another residency) in cardiology. This fellowship is largely another three years. You can then sub-specialize in the field next to several different options.
So you're looking at:
4 years of undergrad + 4 years of med school + 3 years of Internal Medicine + 3 years of Cardio = 14 years after you graduate high university Source(s): Prospective Med Student
