So there's 5 years of medical school and then 2 foundation years. What would you do during those foundation years? And what is after? Do you need to specialize further? And for how long?
thanks:)

Any specialty generally takes about 12 yrs to complete.

4 yrs for a bachelor degree
2 for the masters
2 for the doctorate
3-5 for additional specialty

IN THE UK.... (why is that so hard for people to understand?!):

After F2 you do 2 years of core surgical training, and you need to pass the IMRCS, then apply for cardiothoracics specialty training (ST).
ST lasts 6 years. After this, although in theory you can apply for consultant jobs, I suspect many might do fellowships to specialise further.

That's without taking time out to do research of course...
