Objectives to direct the training of emergency medicine residents on off-service rotation in cardiology, Part 1.

This article is the first of a two-part series outlining the objectives for emergency medicine residents on a cardiology rotation. Cardiology is offered as an off service rotation or an elective at some emergency medicine residency training programs. An organized core curriculum may provide a structured learning environment to help ensure that certain principles and objectives important to the practice of emergency medicine are learned. We have developed a written core curriculum containing a subject content list, learning objectives, and references for emergency medicine residents on cardiology services. This is the 28th in a series of objectives for off-service rotations for emergency medicine residents.
