Cardiologist?

How long does it take to qualify as a heart specialist? And how much do they get paid?
Thanks
Answer:
4 years college + 4 years medical school + 3 years internal medicine residency (1 year as intern, 2 as resident) + 3 years cardiology fellowship (required) = 14 years
Starting pay is probably closer to $150,000. Can be significantly higher depending on what the cardiologist does.
4 years college + 4 years med school + 1-2 years internship + 3-4 years residency + optional fellowship (1-2 years)
Starting earnings 1-2 hundred thousand/year plus benefits if they work in a group practice
