So it takes about 15-17 years to become a cardio thoracic surgeon?
Wondering how long does it really take to become a cardio thoracic surgeon? I've read up online that you need about 6-8 years of undergrad and med school. About 4 years of residency, and 5 or so years of learning to become to surgeon.
So that's like 17 years of schooling? If so, who could get all that money to take care of all that?
I want to become one when I grow up, but it seems like so much schooling is needed, I'm only 14 this year. And if it takes 17 years to become an cardio thoracic surgeon, that would be my whole life plus 3 more years so far! But whatever it is, I'm sure I can find a way out ;)
