I’m the cardiology fellowship PD at Yale. One of our fellows let me know about your tweets. Faculty here are interested in trying to help in anyway they can. DM or email me
Cardiology Fellowships are receiving ~ 35% more applications this year bc no travel for interviews, etc. Most programs (including
@YaleCardiology
) are NOT interviewing 35% MORE applicants due to time/interviewee crunches...
New data from ERAS: The AVERAGE number of applications per applicant for Cardiology Fellowship is 90 (!!!!). That's right...NINETY applications per applicant. IMGs=115 apps per. (1 of 2)

The rank list is in! Good luck to all the cardiology fellowship applicants this year. Incredibly challenging year for applicants and programs (virtual interviews, huge increase in applications). So impressed by the accomplishments, intelligence, and drive of the applicants!
Edward J. Miller, MD, PhD, has been appointed Vice Chief of Education in the Section of Cardiovascular Medicine. Congratulations.

Wonderful opportunity for outstanding interventional training!
With a projected shortage of >120,000 cardiologists by 2030, demand seems completely dissociated from supply. Training programs and funding need to expand! (2 of 2)

Quick update: ERAS (and Thalamus) issues preventing Yale CVD Fellowship from sending interview notices. Hopefully resolved early next week. Sorry for the inconvenience.
We performed our first Tc99m HMDP scan for ATTR cardiac amyloidosis at YNHHS today. Good substitute for PYP. 3 hour imaging required.

Again, this is nuts. A comment at a school board meeting. Peer review? Nope. Published? Nope. Inflammation meaning T2? Unclear. What's the 'n'? Who knows!?

Stabilization of cardiac function with diflunisal in transthyretin (ATTR) cardiac amyloidosis. - PubMed - NCBI
Very important work showing a drug that costs PENNIES may be effective against ATTR-CA.
Happy to be a part of this important document. Training for (and reading of!) hybrid nuclear CT imaging requires multi-disciplinary teams and competency-based approaches.

Virtual interviews for Cards Fellows reduce economic inequity bc of travel costs, but do they reduce # of interviews for ‘average’ (though really good) applicants? Are ‘4 and 5 star’ applicants flooding the interview pool (no fault of their own)? 30-40% increase in applicants.
Congratulations to the 2019 graduates of the Yale Cardiovascular Medicine Fellowship Program. They are 9 future leaders of cardiology, all of whom have distinguished themselves clinically and academically!.

(3) Would be interested to know if the surge is due to increased total # of applicants OR is it just that the same number of applicants is flooding the pool to more programs OR combo of both? Will be an interesting match!
'Clash of the photons'! Outstanding review of BOTH non-invasive (PET,

Stunning thread on the ACC PD listserv email today. 2018 AAMC salary data for academic cardiology section chiefs: 58 men w/ mean salary $564k. 8 women w/ mean salary $400k. I agree w/
@FKeatingMD
"jaw dropping". This data is shameful.
(2) Most programs have criteria for interviews that have been used for years that are hard to adapt to big fluctuations in number/quality of applicant pool. Suspect 'good' applicants are getting squeezed by the 2020 applicant surge.
