Curriculum
Focus Of Training:
All interventional cardiologists, independent of eventual career choice, must have extensive training and experience in the care of patients in both the outpatient and inpatient settings, and must demonstrate competency in dealing with health concerns and problems arising from interventional approaches. Beyond this basic core of educational content which is required of all interventional cardiologists, and qualifies one to take the American Board of Internal Medicine Certifying Examination in Interventional Cardiology, the curriculum for an individual resident depends on the resident's specific career goals.
Flexibility in rotational scheduling is emphasized for all trainees so as to permit optimal tailoring of an individual curriculum to the specifics of a trainee’s practice plans.
