Hi everyone, I'm still in medical school but I've considered cards. However, I've heard some scary stuff about the work schedule of cards. So what is the average work hour/week for cardiologists. I know it's a really vague questions, as academic medicine is probably way different from private practice, but any help would be appreciated!

He already did.

It is the hours he worked each week, followed by the days off each week, followed by the number of absences each week.
