Attention to detail.: To become a cardiologist in the us requires after high school: 4yr college degree (or combined program) with minimum science, math, and other requirements, then 4yr medical school degree (or combined), 3yr internal medicine residency, 3yr cardiology fellowship, then extra 1-2 year for interventional, electrophysiology, and others. Reading your question, i would suggest learning grammar, too.
