Cardiology in India

To pursue MD in cardiology after a B.Sc in cardiology, you must first complete an MBBS degree as MD requires a medical background. In India, enroll in MBBS through NEET-UG and then qualify for MD Cardiology via NEET-PG. For foreign countries, seek MBBS-equivalent qualifications and clear licensing exams like USMLE (USA) or PLAB (UK). Direct master's options in allied fields like cardiovascular technology are also available internationally.

Becoming a cardiac surgeon requires a lot more effort in comparison with a BSc in cardiology. In India to become a cardiac surgeon generally needs to complete an MBBS in Bachelor of Medicine or Bachelor of Surgery followed by a postgraduate degree like master of Surgery or master of charge in cardiothoracic surgery. A B.Sc in cardiology can be a good starting point but it is important to pursue further medical education and training to become a qualified cardiac surgeon. After completing your MBBS you have to clear the NEET PG exam to secure a seat in the postgraduate program.
