“This story examined one of the biggest challenges faced by current interventional cardiology fellows–finding a job. In a field rapidly shifting from “new and exciting” experimental developments to more routine and accepted procedures, trainees must decide what is most important to them in terms of job location, salary, procedure volume, subspecialties, and practice type. Unfortunately, there are few resources out there to help them plan their careers, even after decades of schooling and training. Yet representatives from the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) are looking to change that with their FIT Portal and other programming. Individual program directors are also increasingly being called upon now to take active roles in networking for their fellows and exposing them to all available professional options.”
