Abstract

The field of interventional cardiology (IC) has evolved dramatically over the past 40 years. Training and certification in IC have kept pace, with the development of accredited IC fellowship training programs, training statements, and subspecialty board certification. The application process, however, remained fragmented with lack of a universal process or time frame. In recent years, growing competition among training programs for the strongest candidates resulted in time-limited offers and high-pressure situations that disadvantaged candidates. A grassroots effort was recently undertaken by a Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions task force, to create equity in the system by establishing a national Match for IC fellowship. This manuscript explores the rationale, process, and implications of this endeavor.

介入心脏病学研究员的匹配之路：SCAI 的一项重大举措。

在过去的 40 年中，介入心脏病学（IC）领域发生了翻天覆地的变化。随着经认可的介入心脏病学研究员培训计划、培训声明和亚专科委员会认证的发展，介入心脏病学的培训和认证也与时俱进。然而，申请过程仍然支离破碎，缺乏统一的流程或时间框架。近年来，培训项目之间为争取最优秀的候选人而展开的竞争日趋激烈，这导致了有时间限制的录取和对候选人不利的高压态势。最近，心血管血管造影和介入学会的一个特别工作组在基层开展了一项工作，通过建立一个全国性的 IC 奖学金 Match 来创造系统的公平性。本手稿探讨了这一努力的理由、过程和意义。
