Fast-track cardiology fellowships

To become a cardiologist, one has to complete 3 years of internal medicine followed by 3 years of cardiology. To avert a shortage of cardiologists, the American College of Cardiology is proposing a “fast-track” – skipping the last year of the internal medicine residency. The obvious losers would be the internal medicine training programs which will potentially lose senior residents to the cardiology fellowship.
