Cardiologist

I chose this topic because just yesterday I saw a movie that involved oneof the main characters as a cardiologist. The movie wasn't about cardiologist but it just got me thinking about them and how to become one. I got thinking about that because the guy who is a cardiologist is a crazy man and I just wonder how he was able to get a licnese. Even though I know it's just a movie and it is made up it got me thinking about cardiologist.
