Implementation of Cardio-Oncology Training for Cardiology Fellows

Figure 1. Characteristics of Cardio-Oncology Clinical Encounters During Training and a Proposed Timeline to Achieve Competency in Cardio-Oncology Training (A) Distribution of cardiovascular presentations, cancer type, and cancer therapy. Distribution of cardiovascular presentations seen during inpatient and outpatient encounters and the distribution of cancer type and therapy seen during outpatient encounters for 8 fellows at the Mayo Clinic, University of California Los Angeles, Emory University, Lahey Hospital and Medical Center, and The Ohio State University during cardio-oncology training in general cardiology fellowship. Percentages reflect the average percent contribution of each cardiovascular complaint, cancer type, and cancer therapy among all encounters across the 5 institutions. Trainees pursuing cardio-oncology training had a wide range of clinical exposures. (B) Cardio-oncology training sample roadmap. A proposed timeline of the roadmap to achieve level II and level III competency in cardio-oncology clinical care and research during general cardiology training (post-graduate years 4 to 6) and advanced training (post-graduate year 7). ACGME core competencies relevant to each…
