A Career As A Cardiothoracic Surgeon

Jessica Reinhart 3/8/2017 Health Science II Trauma Surgeon     Trauma surgery encircles treatment of the most severe, life-threatening, pungent  and blunt force injuries. For example, car wrecks, sport injuries, heart attack, and suicide attempts. A career as a trauma surgeon involves operating on critical, and often several injuries to unlike organ systems. Some of the commonly operated on organs are the pancreas, spleen, stomach, and colon. Trauma surgeons also work with surgeons in other specialties to help balance patients who are  in critical condition, and usually work in the emergency care area of a hospital or medical center.     Students  who are wanting to become  trauma surgeons must first receive a bachelor's degree in areas such

After receiving a medical degree, students must complete four more years in an anesthesiology residency. Some residents take one more year of study or fellowship, in a specific area of anesthesiology such as critical care medicine, pain medicine, research or education.

A medical practice that I have highly considered is general surgery. Both my grandfather and uncle are general surgeons, so the idea of following in their footsteps interested me greatly. Also, the idea of combining science and art, as doctors do, has always fascinated me and called me to this profession since a very young age. Like any doctor, the road to becoming a general surgeon is vigorous. “Surgery is a career for the committed. Much of your life is dictated by the demands of the operating room. The training is long and demanding. But for those who love it, a

Another career that I have interest in is being a surgeon. To become a surgeon an individual must complete four years of medical school, two years of internship, and two years of residency (The College Board). This is a huge disadvantage to this career. An advantage that this career has to offer is that being a surgeon you are able to manage a team of

I don’t know much about surgical technology but, I do know that I could complete some of the schooling here in Austin ,Minnesota at the local college. Surgical techs assist the doctors during surgery. It takes a minimum of two years to become a surgical technologist. They stand in one area for hours. I don’t know anyone who is a surgical tech so I don’t have any background or experience in this field.

Mobility grants opportunity and lifelong experiences through the gift of exploration and independence. Without autonomy of movement in one’s life, there are struggles accompanied by frustration do to the lack of freedom and ability. It is an orthopedic surgeon’s job to bring function to one’s life even if they have never been granted movement without restraint before. Orthopedic surgeons receive patients whose freedom of movement have been compromised and then return it back to them. Orthopedic surgeons give immeasurable opportunities and life experiences back to their patients because of their perseverance and commitment to their patients and careers.

The career I have chosen to pursue in the future is a surgeon. A surgeon is a physician who performs surgical operations. They are who cut the human body for the purpose of removing diseased tissue or organs, to repair body systems, or to replace diseased organs with transplants. Surgeons may be physicians, dentists, podiatrists, and veterinarians. Surgeons can be general surgeons and perform all types of surgery, or they can be specialized, such as heart surgeons or brain surgeons. I plan to specialize in heart surgery or as its also known cardiothoracic surgeon. A cardiothoracic surgeon is a medical doctor who specializes in surgical procedures of the heart, lungs, esophagus, and other organs in the chest. This includes surgeons who can be called cardiac surgeons, cardiovascular surgeons, general thoracic surgeons, and congenital heart surgeons.

Surgery is supposedly one of the hardest job in the world. Operating on a human person is not easy by any means, but it may be simpler than you might think. On just a few pages you will know just about everything to start your medical career as a Surgeon of anytype. Starting with Education then working our way down.

Cardiologists may use catheterizations to view plugged arteries or help patients through the rehabilitation process, following a heart surgery. After assessing a patient, it is common for a cardiologist to refer patients to a cardiovascular surgeon, when surgery is needed. Following medical school, a two to three year residency in cardiology is required to become a cardiologist. In 2016, $208,000 was the median salary reported for all physicians and surgeons, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Cardiologists have the potential to earn a significantly higher

Average salary of those that complete this program or those like it is $54,870. They are often placed in any medical setting whether that be in a lab, hospital, specialized care facility, or clinics. They’re able to work alongside patients and other physicians to help treat heart and blood vessel diseases. Compared to a cardiovascular surgeon, they do a lot less stuff. They often assist in surgery but will not be as hands on and will not be leading the procedure. They also make much less money than the surgeon, however they only require a fraction of the education. Pros to this career would be a decent pay with very little education, being able to work in the medical work, and less stress than a surgeon. However they wouldn’t have quite as many capabilities as those above them.

For some jobs in the fields of surgery one only has to go to school for a short period of time but others, like an actual surgeon one has to go to school for 14-15 years to get their Doctorate of Medicine (MD). MDs also have to go to school for four years, then medical school for four years and then lastly do a surgical residency for 3-7 years.

I would be the best person for a radiology tech job because, when I go to college to learn how to properly do it, I will get the hang of it. Basically what a radiology tech person do is take pictures of bones, the only reason I know this is because my sister work as a radiology tech. Im great at taking regular pictures but, taking pictures of bones is a whole different story. You have to use this big machine to take the picture. My talents are dancing and acting but, my talents does have anything to do with what I want to be in life. I really haven’t had any accomplishments yet but i'm working on it. In five years, I plan to be still in school because im trying to get a Dr. Degree, so I can be certified. I would also have another job until

Specialization in the prevention and treatment of heart disease is called cardiology (Field, Shelly 10). The journey taken to become a cardiologist is

When I was filling out the questionnaires about possible career opportunities, cardiac surgery and psychiatry were the jobs that I liked the most within the career field best suited for my interests. The first, cardiac surgery falls in the health science field. Demand for the profession has steadily increased over the years, but different experts predict that as the baby boomer population ages, the demand for cardiac surgeons is dramatically increasing. The number of people over age 65 is expected to double in the next 20 years, from 35 million to more than 70 million. By 2025, the researchers say, there could be a 46 percent increase in the demand for cardiothoracic surgeons, but a drop of at least 21 percent in the number of available surgeons. This means that in addition to the increasing number of members of the older population, the number of trained and available surgeons is on the decline. There are no geographic restrictions on the availability of surgeons. They are needed everywhere in the world at any time. Where ever there are people, surgeons must be available to provide needed health care assistance. Also, the workload is not affected by seasons, as people tend to need medical care year-round. The time commitment for cardiac surgery is almost overwhelming. Doctors must be at the hospitals for long hours to make sure patients in need are treated. They often work late nights and early morning hours. The physical demands that one must meet in order to become a

Ever since I could have a clear understanding of the roles doctors play in our society, and to remembering my first doctor's visit I instantly wanted to become one of those woman in a long white coat running around helping patients or performing a procedure. My passion for helping others is something that has empowered me to become a doctor. Because of my passion for helping individuals , my dream of one day becoming a surgeon ,I have decided to further my academic career at Virginia Commonwealth University ( Vcu ) . I plan on attending one of the finest medical schools in Virginia while also maintaining a job and balancing life as a college student and a mother.
