Key result
A national survey of cardiology trainees revealed a lack of hands-on training opportunities in cardiac devices and conflict between service commitment and training, leading to perceived incompetence.
Cross-Sectional
Yes
Cardiology trainees report significant barriers to cardiac device training, including lack of hands-on opportunities and conflict with service commitments, leading to perceived lack of competence.
Training barriers in cardiac devices merit curriculum review; cross-sectional data leave open whether reforms improve competence.
This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. A national survey (questionnaire) on Cardiology trainees undertaken on behalf of the author by the British Junior Cardiologists Association (BJCA) on training opportunities, needs, attitudes and perceived barriers that exist within "current training" in cardiac devices suggests lack of opportunity for hands on training and poor attitude to training resulting in a perceived lack of competence. The conflict between service commitment and training was a recurring theme.
