Rachel’s Answer

You will start with 4 years of college. Once accepted to medical school, as long as you pass your classes and perform reasonably well during your four years of medical training, you can apply for a general surgery 5 year residency. Following that, you will apply for a 2 year cardiothoracic fellowship. This = 15 years of school after high school.

Martha Cecile’s Answer

TO be a heart surgeon, you must complete 3-4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, at least 5 years of surgery residency, and maybe even a fellowship if you choose to specialize in pediatric heart surgery or transplantation. I admire your desire to accomplish this difficult task.
