Another 3 years after residency for internal cardiolo vascular desease after the 2 year cardiology medicine. Can you make a power point to clearly show us .

[vballnavigator]

no he's talking bout med school, premed refers to undergraduate studies

[spaceman1979]

When he says medical school for four years is he refering to pre-medicine?

@zachyboy99 WTF??

[caligirl747]

You're a really cute doctor lol

[angelodevilla]

That's a very good training grounds for doctors. Unlike in the UK, after 4 years, without even undergoing pre-med course nor supervised internship, they are already out in the ward prescribing- which is very risky on the part of the patients.

[bobboberan]

thats a long time do you do open heart surgery or just angioplasty or everything I am a little confused on if a cardiologist even does heart surgery or is that a cardio surgeon , is there a difference ?

[knugs1991]

no difference

[ToneToneBadone]

cardiologists don't do surgery. although cardiologsits DO do procedures like angioplasty, CARDIAC SURGEONS do open heart surgery...so there in fact is a difference

[bobboberan]

I didn't know that ...interesting !
