Abstract:
Dual training in Interventional Cardiology (IC) with other cardiac subspecialties such as Advanced Heart Failure and Transplant Cardiology (AHFTC) and Critical Care Cardiology (CCC) is becoming a pathway for trainees to acquire a needed skill set to deliver comprehensive care for increasingly complex patients in the intensive care unit and catheterization laboratory settings. The makeup of these training pathways varies depending on several factors, with the resultant role of the specialist reflecting this reality. Herein, we review the merits to combined fellowship training for the Interventional Cardiologist, the ideal structure of programs to facilitate this, and how the faculty position for such a unique specialist can enhance a program.
