Hello,

Here is an overview :-

  • Educational Pathway Mismatch

    • A Bachelor's in Economics does not fulfill prerequisites for medical studies, such as foundational courses in biology, chemistry, and physics.
  • Medical Degree Requirement

    • To specialize in cardiology, one must first complete a medical degree (MD or equivalent), which typically requires a background in pre-medical or life sciences.
  • Additional Steps Needed

    • The individual must take foundational science courses to qualify for medical school.
    • After completing medical school, a residency in internal medicine and a fellowship in cardiology are required.
  • Time and Effort

    • Transitioning from economics to cardiology would demand significant time, effort, and financial investment.
  • Eligibility for Career Change

    • While challenging, switching fields is possible with dedication, provided the individual is willing to complete the necessary academic and clinical requirements.

Hope it helps !

Hello aspirant,

No a person with Bachelor's Degree in Economic can not pursue specialization in Cardiology. The basic requirement to pursue Cardiology course is that a candidate has MBBS Degree. Without having medical background, you can not become cardiologist.

Hello,

Specialization in Cardiology requires a medical background. A bachelor's degree in Economics does not qualify one for this pathway. In order to be a cardiologist, a person needs to first acquire an MBBS degree that provides basic knowledge about the human body, its physiology, and the practice of medicine.

One postgraduates in Internal Medicine, MD, and then undergoes super-specialization by way of a DM programme, Doctorate of Medicine. This is what enables you to diagnose and treat cardiovascular diseases correctly.

If you are passionate about health, then, surely, Health Management or Public Health Policy can offer excellent opportunities along lines related to Economics and yet add value to the medical profession.
