    Heart surgeons need to be highly qualified, skilled and dedicated. You would need the following qualifications to become a heart surgeon:
    - If you are a high school student, you need to take science subjects and excel at them, especially Biology. Take the Medical College Admission Test and Apply for admission to a medical school in your senior year.
    - After getting admission, you would have to complete the 3rd year rotations before choosing your specialization, Its better to do it in Cardiovascular Surgery.
    - Give the appropriate exams and after completing your residency, pass the American Board of Thoracic Surgery examinations in order to become a heart surgeon.

      If you are worried about wasting your life away becoming a heart surgeon it is not the path for you. When picking a profession you need not have any doubts about what it is you would like to become and if you are worried about how much time it will take to become a heart surgeon you are not passionate enough about it. Pick something else
