How does one become a CT surgeon?
I'm assuming you have to go through general surgery, and then apply for some kind of CT fellowship? Am I completely wrong?
Why doesn't CT surgery have its own dedicated route like NS?
Also, what credentials are these programs looking for? (can someone give me Step 1 scores for CT?) What kind of personality traits do they want?
One last thing, CT's deal with the heart, but do they also have to work with lungs? I only am interested in heart surgery
So many questions, but I'd appreciate it if anyone who is interested in CT and knows a lot about it (or if there is a CT resident here) could answer these questions.
Sue me if my spelling and grammer is wrong...
