How to be a heart surgeon?

How much money does a heart surgeon make in a year?

  • I am curious to know what a heart surgin makes because i am looking into that kind of stuff. Please reply! THANKS

  • Answer:

    The median expected salary for a typical Cardiothoracic Surgeon in the United States is $416,876 yearly. I also listed another link below about a shortage of heart surgeons. In the 2007 resident selection process, only 87 of 130 positions NATIONWIDE were filled. This could cause heart surgeons salaries to increase since there is a shortage and it takes 12 years to become a heart surgeon. Also, The average age of the surgeons now are 55, and more than half plan to retire in the next 13 years, according to the Society of Thoracic Surgeons, so there could be a severe shortage then. Actually, this was kind of scary to me since I have had open heart surgery and in my area right now there are only 2!!! The one that did my surgery retired last year. I just thought maybe this would interest you also. Best wishes to you.

Several hundred thousand dollars a year depending on number of years he's been in practice, his reputation, what med school he graduated from, and if his practice is thriving.
