If I want to become a cardiologist but also serve in the military, would it be smart to finish my bachelors degree and then go into 68n? Or would it be smarter to finish all of my schooling and training and then enlist as a doctor for the army?

If you need money to finish college, then enlisting to get the college benefits and relevant experience (68N) can certainly help you achieve that goal. If not, then I'd recommend finishing school, going to med school, and then coming in as a Medical Corps officer.

Finish college with your Masters (at least) or PhD then direct commission to Captain O3 for your masters and depending on what you studied, you might pull LTC O5 for your PhD as a direct commission.
