I am about to start college and I need to know what undergraduate college courses do I need in order to qualify to become a cardiovascular surgeon?

Answer:

You need a good basic education in the sciences as well as the liberal arts in order to become the best physician you can become.

Specific requirements for medical school include:

8 hours of biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, and physics
3-6 hours of English
3 hours of Calculus (some medical schools)

You also need to complete a bachelor's degree in some field (of your choosing), take the MCAT, and be accepted to medical school. You will then need to complete a surgical residency and be accepted to a cardiothoracic surgery fellowship.
