AboutAs I exposed myself to new cardiac procedures and testing, I became fascinated with the non-surgical aspects of cardiology offered. For instance, although the quick pace of surgery encapsulates me, the idea of a calm environment a private practice can offer (along with predictable work hours) also entertained me. I wanted to look further into the lives of cardiologists and I researched some basic information. Education
What They Do
ReactI was surprised to see a relatively huge difference in the educational path a cardiologist and cardiac surgeon take after completing med school. Additionally, although not completely listed in this post, I was surprised at the myriad of tests cardiologists perform. This research has sparked my interest in the non-surgical path of cardiology, and I can picture myself pursuing this field path. Sourcehttps://www.cardiosmart.org/heart-basics/what-is-a-cardiologist

AboutSo here I am, starting the journey for my senior project with my symposium research. My symposium research will double as my 16 hour capacity building. I knew that I wanted to do something with surgery for my senior project, and I knew that I wanted to do a mentorship. However, I struggled to find a surgery specialty I wanted to dive into. I turned to Mrs. Graves for help, and she discussed surgeons who have worked with MSA students in the past. Through her, I was able to chose the surgery specialty I wanted to look into: cardiothoracic surgery. PointsDESCRIPTION
ReactOverall, the idea of cardiothoracic surgery is extremely interesting to me. This research has solidified my desire to pursue cardiothoracic surgery as a future career path. However, I am more interested in cardiac surgery division at the moment. My studies from now on are going to be narrowed down to the anatomy and surgeries of the heart and blood vessels.
