The provision of high-quality education allows the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) to achieve its mission of better cardiovascular practice and provides an essential component of translating new evidence to improve outcomes.
The 4th ESC Education Conference, held in Sophia Antipolis (December 2016), brought together ESC education leaders, National Directors of Training of 43 ESC countries, and representatives of the ESC Young Community. Integrating national descriptions of education and cardiology training, we discussed innovative pathways to further improve knowledge and skills across different training programmes and health care systems. We developed an ESC roadmap supporting better cardiology training and continued medical education (CME), noting: (i) The ESC provides an excellent framework for unbiased and up-to-date cardiovascular education in close cooperation with its National Societies. (ii) The ESC should support the harmonization of cardiology training, curriculum development, and professional dialogue and mentorship. (iii) ESC congresses are an essential forum to learn and discuss the latest developments in cardiovascular medicine. (iv) The ESC should create a unified, interactive educational platform for cardiology training and continued cardiovascular education combining Webinars, eLearning Courses, Clinical Cases, and other educational programmes, along with ESC Congress content, Practice Guidelines and the next ESC Textbook of Cardiovascular Medicine. (v) ESC-delivered online education should be integrated into National and regional cardiology training and CME programmes.
These recommendations support the ESC to deliver excellent and comprehensive cardiovascular education for the next generation of specialists. Teamwork between international, national and local partners is essential to achieve this objective.
高质量的教育为欧洲心脏病学会（ESC）提供了实现更好的心血管实践的使命，并为将新证据转化为改善结果提供了必要的组成部分。
第 4 届 ESC 教育会议于 2016 年 12 月在索菲亚安提波利斯举行，汇集了 ESC 教育领袖、43 个 ESC 国家的国家培训主任以及 ESC 青年社区的代表。整合了各国对教育和心脏病学培训的描述，我们讨论了创新途径，以进一步提高不同培训计划和医疗保健系统中的知识和技能。我们制定了 ESC 路线图，以支持更好的心脏病学培训和继续医学教育（CME），并指出：（i）ESC 在与国家学会密切合作的情况下，为公正和最新的心血管教育提供了极好的框架。（ii）ESC 应支持心脏病学培训、课程开发以及专业对话和指导的协调一致。（iii）ESC 大会是学习和讨论心血管医学最新发展的重要论坛。（iv）ESC 应创建一个统一的互动式心血管培训和继续教育教育平台，结合网络研讨会、电子学习课程、临床病例和其他教育计划，以及 ESC 大会内容、实践指南和下一个 ESC 心血管医学教科书。（v）ESC 提供的在线教育应纳入国家和地区的心脏病学培训和 CME 计划。
这些建议支持 ESC 为下一代专家提供卓越和全面的心血管教育。国际、国家和地方合作伙伴之间的团队合作对于实现这一目标至关重要。
