This review explores the modern training of pediatric cardiology fellows, starting from prefellowship residency preparation, highlighting new tools and strategies to support trainees during fellowship, and setting up successful transition to independent practice.
Pediatric cardiology fellows benefit from a variety of newer educational strategies. Most experience a boot camp at the start of fellowship to help exposure to the complex and technical elements of the field. The concept of competency based medical education has evolved to incorporate newer milestones for general practice domains as well as those specific to pediatric cardiology, and the incorporation of entrustable professional activities holds great promise. Fellows may benefit from close mentorship, use of newer technology and tools to augment their education, participation in national curricula, and close counseling by program directors about future careers and growth of the field.
The field of pediatric cardiology education is adapting to the modern healthcare needs to produce high-quality graduates who are trained in the foundational elements of pediatric cardiology. Felllowship graduates should take advantage of all the opportunities among a variety of learning domains to best prepare themselves for the next stage of their careers.
本综述探讨儿科心脏病学住院医师的现代培训，从住院医师培训前的准备开始，重点介绍在住院医师培训期间支持学员的新工具和策略，并为顺利过渡到独立执业做好准备。
儿科心脏病学住院医师受益于多种更新的教育策略。大多数人在住院医师培训开始时会参加一个集训营，以帮助他们接触该领域复杂的技术内容。基于能力的医学教育概念已经发展，纳入了一般执业领域以及儿科心脏病学特定领域的更新里程碑，可托付专业活动的纳入前景广阔。住院医师可能会受益于密切的指导、使用更新的技术和工具来加强他们的教育、参与国家课程，以及项目主任关于未来职业和该领域发展的密切咨询。
儿科心脏病学教育领域正在适应现代医疗保健需求，以培养在儿科心脏病学基础要素方面受过培训的高素质毕业生。住院医师培训毕业生应利用各种学习领域中的所有机会，为其职业生涯的下一阶段做好最佳准备。
