Ambulatory paediatric cardiology currently lacks in-depth training beyond basic clinical exposure during fellowship, highlighting a need to augment the depth and breadth of training in this domain.
This commentary highlights the gap in advanced training for ambulatory pediatric cardiology compared to other subspecialties and advocates for augmenting its depth and breadth.
Extensive supplemental training exists for many subspecialty disciplines within fellowship training for paediatric cardiology in the United States of America. These disciplines, or domains, such as echocardiography, cardiac intensive care, interventional cardiology, and electrophysiology, allow for initial exposure and training during the basic 3 years of fellowship, plus mandate a 4th year of advanced training; however, ambulatory cardiology has no in-depth or additional training beyond the basic clinical exposure during fellowship training. Ambulatory cardiology is not included in the recommended scheduling of the various domains of cardiology training. This document reviews the reasons to consider augmenting the depth and breadth of training in ambulatory paediatric cardiology.

Jeffrey R. Boris (2015) conducted an editorial in Paediatric cardiology fellowship training. Ambulatory paediatric cardiology training was evaluated. Ambulatory paediatric cardiology currently lacks in-depth training beyond basic clinical exposure during fellowship, highlighting a need to augment the depth and breadth of training in this domain.
