l was thinking of just being a Physicians Assistant in cardiology rather than being a cardiologist because cardiologist are held more with liability and risk and such.

Can anybody tell me the work schedules between the two and the salaries they make and the the schooling required? Thanks. l have not found a good website to explain all this.

 

Which is better being a Cardiologist or a PA in cardiology

Most PA programs r approx 2 yrs for a bachelors degree. You will need to take certain prerequisite courses that r required for admission (each program has slight variations). PA programs teach u general medicine. If u want to work in cardiology u will need to find a job in the field & get on the job training.
To become a cardiologist u need to go to med school (4 yrs). Before med school u need a bachelors (3-4 yrs) & need to take the MCAT. After graduating from med school u will do an internal medicine residency (3 yrs) & then a fellowship in cardiology (2-3 yrs).
Becoming a cardiologist is obviously a longer, harder road. You have to really want it. If u r currently in college u should speak to an advisor who can give u a better idea of what courses u need to take for either PA school or med school.
