We invite colleagues to explore this important contribution to the ongoing discussion on excellence in cardiology training and care delivery.
Abstract:
All roctors require broad-based clinical knowledge, skills, and attitudes, but no doctor can be independently competent in every aspect of clinical practice. Within cardiology, core training equips cardiologists with core cardiovascular competencies, but appropriate training, assessment, and maintenance of post-certification competencies are required for cardiologists to function as part of a comprehensive multidisciplinary Heart-Team across the full spectrum of cardiovascular practice required by our patients. The position statement describes the role of post-certifications competencies in the delivery of cardiovascular care.
