Description
Summary:Since the inception of the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) in the early 1960s (1), the patient population has drastically evolved (2–4). [...]compared with adding critical care electives into a cardiology fellowship, this pathway adds upward of 2 years onto clinical training.Additional Critical Care Training During Cardiology Instead of completing a second fellowship, experiential learning through addition of critical care electives is an option during a standard cardiology fellowship. [...]the development of the next generation of cardiac intensivists will be crucial to ensure that knowledgeable leadership is available to navigate the continued evolution of the modern CICU. Because practice patterns are heterogeneous, the EC cardiac intensivist must thoroughly reflect on his/her ideal practice environment.
