What classes do you have to take, to become a heart surgeon?
108440
At least 4 years of medical school \n5 years in a general surgical residency training program \n2-3 years cardiothoracic residency program during which they are usually exposed to six months of training in a  heart surgery service. \nTo become a competent Heart Surgeon, a further 2-4 years of specialized training in a heart surgery service is required \nAt least 2 years of specialized training needs to be at a fellowship level. Fellowship programs are usually offered by the major heart centers with large clinical and research programs. \nIdeally, the first 1-2 years after fellowship training should be spent at junior staff level in a major center. In select situations, a Pediatric Heart Surgeon may have started practice before such organized fellowships were available, but over the years has gained substantial  experience by devoting his or her practice to the care of people in need. \n\n\nI hope this helps....\n\nDon

This really depends on the college that you go to, the best place to go would be to check with some kind of health sciences advisor.\n\nBut with that said, there are certain classes that are needed for the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), which most medical schools require you to take.\n\nYou'll need 1 year of some kind of introductory biology, 1 year of general chemistry, 1 year of physics, 1 year of organic chemistry, and some biochemistry/genetics/other classes as well. There is a writing portion on the MCAT as well, and some schools require 1 year of English.\n\nThe easiest way is to call an advisor and set up an appointment, ask them what you need to take to get into medical school, good luck :)

What kind of classes? Different ages and/or grades? A combination of different subjects?

Well, assuming you want to do surgery, you're going to have to go to medical school. Med school is really competitive and your best chance of getting in is with a very comprehensive education of all things medical. Pre-med might not always be the best choice because it sometimes lacks coursework in the fundamentals of molecular and cellular biology. Lots of students I know going to medical school are majoring in microbiology (the study of cells), bioscience, biochemistry (incredibly tough but proves that you're ready for the rigors of medical school), chemistry and surprisingly enough, bioengineering. \n\nI would avoid any health, diet, or majors that don't focus on the basic levels of cellular and human biology. Getting a 4.0 in major consisting of nutrition doesn't look very good. You need to have a really good background in chemistry, physics, biochemistry, and microbiology to be a good canadiate for a medical program but as long as your taking challenging classes that focus on some aspect of the human body, you have a very good chance of getting into medical school.\n\nI'd look into what aspect of biology you enjoy the most and major in that. From there, with good grades and good recommendations, you should be a shoe-in for medical school

Here is the info from Oxford university website:\nMaster of Surgery (MCh)\nOxford University > postgraduate > Course types > Master of Surgery (MCh)\n\nThis degree, like the DM, is open under specified conditions to candidates holding the Oxford BM, BCh after ten years from their matriculation and similarly to those holding an Oxford MA together with a registrable medical degree of another university.\n\nFurther details may be obtained from:\n\nThe Medical School Office,\nThe John Radcliffe,\nHeadington, Oxford OX3 9DU.\nTel: 01865 851045\n\nIn Melbourne University, to apply for Masters in surgery, you need to have an MBBS degree.\nwww.medicine.unimelb.edu.au/docs/MSurgProgramDescription.pdf\n\nIt varies from one university to another.\n\ncc

In the U.S., a good start would be to complete a course of studies in a science degree.  This should get you the prerequisit biologies I & II, microbiology, chemistries I & II, physics, calculus and anatomy & physiology.  Apply for and take the GRE, and then apply to the medical school of your choice.  Also apply with the national registry.

Go to medical school, become a general doctor, train for another 5 years, then do internships, then become a full blown cardiologist. I'd say about 12 years.

If you have not finished undergraduate work then you need to take some courses that are required by every US medical school including:\n\n1 year (2 semesters or 3 quarters) of\n\n- Biology with a year of labs\n- Chemistry with a year of labs\n- Organic Chemistry with a year of labs\n- Physics with a year of labs\n- other courses in biology are strongly reccomended including\n  -physiology\n  -anatomy\n  -biochemistry\n  -neuroscience\n\nThen you will have to take a long ass test called the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT) that covers all the above sciences and some verbal stuff.... it is multiple choice like all the other standardized tests.  Oh yeah, most if not all also require a bachelor's degree in any subject, but many opt for a Biology major since the pre-health requirements are in line with that major.\n\nIt is a long road and very competitive... get a GPA above a 3.5 or you will struggle to find a spot, if you really want to do it you can though.  They made it tough so that only the people that really really want to do it make it.\n\nIt is also highly reccomended to do community service and research.  Although you can start at a community college, I haven't found any community colleges that offer all of the courses needed to fulfill these bare minimum requirements.  You will have to do this at a university.\n\nGood luck.

There are as many types of surgery as there are organ systems and skeletal fixtures in the body. A general surgeon usually performs so called 'routine' surgeries like uncomplicated appendectomies, tonsilectomies, repair of hernias, etc.\nThere are vascular surgeons, cardiac, neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, microsurgeons, opthalmic, oncologic surgeons, gynaecologic surgeons, plastic surgeons, maxillofacial reconstructive surgeons, etc. Get the picture?

Go to a 4-year school (preferably one with a good reputation), take the required prerequisite pre-med courses like Physics, Calculus, Biology, Chemistry... then take the MCAT test for acceptance into a medical school. Spend the next 4+ years in med school working crazy hours and doing rotations in all aspects of medicine (emergency, surgery, peds, etc.) then specialize in Ob/gyn. Hope this helps. Universities have more info on specific requirements for med school.

To get your M.D. or D.O. you need a minimum of 8 years of school, four years of undergraduate and four years of Professional (medical) school. In very rare occasions, you can be accepted to a medical school before earning your undergraduate degree, but this is extremely, rare (I mean extremely).

knowledge of anatomy and some practice with slicing dicing and a bit of medical knowledge would not hurt.\n\nget a medical degree. then get in PG course for the surgery

you have to got class for a long time for anything medical, so forget it\n\nactually, it depends on what kind of medical you are talking about..but if you are in high school, no technical school certificate will let you get a "hands on medical" experience that would lead to a degree. you have to go to medical school.\n\nunless you are talking about....ummm...maybe some kind of assistant job (no degree) like in surgery or as a lab tech, or something minor.\n\nthey won't hire just anyone into a real medical field unless you have been in college for a long time, and have a degree.

Take plenty of math and science - all sciences. Of course health classes. If your HS has any physiology, kinesiology and anatomy AP classes take them too.

You need the general pre-requisites for any medical school.  Organic Chemistry, Biochemsitry, Physics, Calculus, Cellular and Molecular Biology, Immunology, Bacteriology/Microbiology,  Physiology, etc.\n\nDon't forget to take the MCATs.\n\nI don't know any med school in Singapore, but UC Davis has a pretty good med school in California.  \n\nMed schools have also started looking for students who aren't coming from a science major.  So you could take all the course work for med school, but major in psychology or a social science.  \n\nAnother important thing to remember is to volunteer.  Try to volunteer at a hospital or a free clinic in your area.  Med school admissions counselors love the volunteers.

Both.  You should take four years of English, Math - to include algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus, History or Social Science, Science - to include earth science, chemistry, physics, and biology, and a foreign language, Spanish would be fine.  Avoid the easy classes, i.e. Home EC, Shop.  If you want to take some art and music classes that would be good.  Especially if you learned to play an instrument.  The best instrument to learn, if you want to try for a college scholarship, would be any of the double reed instruments, i.e. bassoon, oboe.
