Answer 1

Don't worry about that, bro.

When you go to college, they'll put you into a pre-med program, and your counselors will walk you through all the classes necessary to graduate.

Then, about 6 years from now, you'll enter med school and focus on your cardiology, and you'll know what to do then too.

Here's some advice: MAKE SURE YOU'RE A STRAIGHT A STUDENT!
The competition for med school is vicious, violent, and wickedly expensive. Upwards of $40,000 to start. So you better get a job, learn to play stocks, or find scholarships like mad.

Answer 2

1) Take all college prep courses and try to make the best grade you possibly can, especially in the sciences. The Medical College Entrance Test is a hard one, and your score in making to med schoold could just be a few measely points. That is how competitive it is.

2) 4 years of college with aqn emphasis in a B.S.in Chemistry, or Biology

3) 4 years of Medical School

4) One year of internship. After this, if you pass your local state medical board, you can become a general practicioner if you desire that.

5) 3-4 years of residency in cardiology

6) About 6 months to study for Board Certification as a Cardiologist.

7) If all this goes well, congratulations, you are now a Board Certified Cardiologist. The road to get there is a very demanding one, physically and mentally.Are you up to the task?
