May inform updates to interventional cardiology training; leaves open validation of competency metrics in practice.
This advanced training statement defines the core and advanced competencies required for sub-subspecialists in adult echocardiography beyond standard cardiovascular fellowship training.
Wiegers et al. (2019) conducted a review in Echocardiography training. Advanced training in echocardiography (Level III) was evaluated. The 2019 ACC/AHA/ASE statement defines the competencies and experiences required for Level III training in adult echocardiography, which generally requires at least 9 cumulative months of training.
