Cardiology: Mr ayala it takes years and years of schooling to first get to college and then medical school. Once you're a doctor, then there are years of training to become an internal medicine doctor, then more years to specialize in cardiology and then more to learn interventional cardiology. Too much to detail here. You're asking to describe an effort of many years.

Long training: You first need to go to college and then go to four years of medical school. Once you are done, you need to do an internal medicine residency followed by a cardiology fellowship and then an interventional cardiology fellowship. Throughout that time you will likely take the USMLE Step 1,2,3, ABIM, ABMS Cardiology boards, Echo boards, nuclear boards, and interventional cardiology boards.
