Cardiologist?
Also, if someone wishes to be a cardiologist surgeon does that take longer than 14 yrs?
Thanks
Answer:
The correct possession is cardiothoracic surgeon.
It takes a while.
In the United States:
-You do a four-year college amount (starting at 18 for most people, when they graduate from dignified school).
-You get a medical point (which takes four more years, presently totalling 8 years of education)
-You do a five-year general surgery residency (which is simply a paid continuing schooling program, where you step from medical knowledge to medical practice. 13 years total).
-Many cardiothoracic surgery programs require one year of lab work. 14 years total.
-Then a two-year cardiothoracic surgery program. 16 years total.
So you're 18 when you start, and 34 when you're done.
Pussycat is referring to a cardiologist (not the cardiothoracic surgeon) within the previous question.
I be referring to starting after high institution at which most people graduate at age 18.
In the US:
graduate big school at age 18
college = 4 years
med college = 4 years
internal medicine residency= 3 years
cardiology fellowship = 3 years
total = 14 years
Yes the cardiothoracic surgeon take at least 16 years.
