Personalized learning, adaptive learning, and the flipped classroom are proposed as novel educational tools to improve lifelong learning for cardiologists.
Novel educational strategies such as personalized learning, adaptive learning, and the flipped classroom are proposed to modernize lifelong learning for cardiologists.
Lifelong learning is essential for the practicing cardiologist. Present lifelong learning mechanisms are stagnant and at risk for not meeting the needs of currently practicing cardiologists. With the increasing burden of cardiovascular disease, growing complexity of patient care, and ongoing pressures of non-clinical responsibilities, educational programming must evolve to meet the demands of the contemporary cardiovascular professional. A paradigm shift, replete with modern and practical educational tools, is needed in the lifelong learning armamentarium. Emerging evidence of novel educational strategies in graduate medical education supports the promise of broader application of these tools to different stages of professional life. In this commentary from the Fellows-In-Training (FIT) Section Leadership Council, we propose three novel educational tools—personalized learning, adaptive learning, and the flipped classroom—to improve lifelong learning to meet the educational needs of FITs to practicing cardiologists alike.

Narang et al. (2018) conducted an editorial in Lifelong learning for cardiologists. Personalized learning, adaptive learning, and the flipped classroom was evaluated. Personalized learning, adaptive learning, and the flipped classroom are proposed as novel educational tools to improve lifelong learning for cardiologists.
