Although cardiology is an amazing specialty, it's not for everyone myself included. That being said, there's still a lot to love about cardiology. To start, it was one of my favorite subjects during my preclinical years. It's a logical field with a lot of physics and math so if you enjoyed those subjects in high school and college like I did, you might enjoy cardiology. It's also a fastpaced specialty with lots of procedures and variety.

There were some definite downsides for me though. The training to become a cardiologist is much longer than most specialties. After medical school, you must complete 3 years of internal medicine residency followed by 3 years of cardiology fellowship. Despite having a lot of procedures, cardiology also isn't as procedural as any of the surgical specialties. As someone who loves doing procedures, this was a huge downside for me. Lastly, cardiology is one of the specialties stereotypically known for having big egos, and my experience was similar. This is highly subjective and everyone's experiences will differ; however, mine surely colored my perception of the specialty.
