Q. How to become a Cardiologist (Medical) in the United States ?

Note that Cardiology and Gastroenterology are probably the most competitive fellowships after completing Internal medicine. Heme-Oncology and Nephrology is not far behind.


Q. How long does it take to become a cardiologist in USA ?
A. 4 Years of Premedical College + 4 years of medical School + 3 years of Residency in Internal Medicine followed by a 3 Year fellowship in Cardiology. Often there could be a wait for a year before the fellowship to gain some research experience. Further training like Interventional Cardiology will take 1 to 2 years more.
