how to become a cardiac surgeon and how long it takes
Hi aspirant,.
Cardiac surgeons are one of the sought after medical professions requiring extensive knowledge and experience. The primary step towards being a Cardiac Surgeon is acquiring your MBBS degree from one of the institutes approved by the Medical Council of India.
Next, you are required to complete a three year MS Degree in General Surgery which is followed by a three year MCh degree in Cardiology (This is a 3+3 year model). Hence it takes an approximate of 11 years.
Hope this helps!
