The American College of Cardiology , the American Heart Association , and the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions have jointly issued new guidance outlining competency-based advanced training requirements for interventional cardiology trainees.
"With this groundbreaking document, the writing committee provides a roadmap for both program directors and interventional cardiology trainees to help them progress through important training milestones," Theodore A. Bass, MD, chair of the statement writing committee, says in a news release. Competency requirements are defined using the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's six"essential" competency domains: medical knowledge; patient care and procedural skills; practice-based learning and improvement; systems-based practice; interpersonal and communication skills; and professionalism.
Adjunctive procedures related to physiologic assessment and intracoronary imaging are also required ."These minimum numbers are meant to provide trainees with exposure to a variety and spectrum of complexity of clinical case material and give supervising faculty sufficient opportunity to evaluate trainees' competency," the writing group says.
