QUESTIONS What is the aim of cardiology training? How much does a cardiologist need to know? What is the level of skills a cardiologist need? Who defines and checks the competence of cardiologists? National or international level?
POLICIES OF MEDICAL EDUCATION VERTICAL: Subspecialties, expensive diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. Pro: Development of knowledge, skills and experience. Medicine advances through subspecialties Contra: Too expensive, possibility of mistakes because of unilateral thinking, need for large number of doctors
POLICIES OF MEDICAL EDUCATION HORIZONTAL: Low cost procedures, no subspecialties. Pro: Cost-effective, socially acceptable, medicine oriented to the patient. Contra: Retardation of knowledge development, no specific skills
MEDICAL EDUCATION Clinical education has not kept pace with: Changing health system expectations Evolving practice requirements New information A focus on improving quality New technologies
MEDICAL EDUCATION Medical schools and teaching hospitals should share learning resources Greece?? Simulation laboratories Standardized patient programs, Information technology applications
AIM The clinical subject of cardiology aims to deliver competent care for patients presenting with disorders of the heart, the pulmonary vasculature and the systemic arterial and venous systems
Training in Cardiology Cardiology is expanding (subspecialties) Knowledge required for all cardiologists often confused with knowledge of specific fields Coordination of training Assurance that the knowledge and skills of a cardiologist are independent of the location (hospital, town, country) of training.
TRAINING Knowledge of and exposure to a broad range of medical conditions Generic knowledge and skills, communication, bioethics, biostatistics, ability to analyze, interpret and utilize medical literature The trainee should have the linguistic ability to communicate with pts and colleagues in the country of training
Duration- recommendations Six years of postgraduate training Two years of common trunk medicine Four years of cardiology LABS OUTPATIENTS- ER Consultation for other services

USA In programs with a total of more than six trainees, for each 1.5 residents there must be no less than one faculty member who must devote at least 20 hours per week to teaching, research, administration, and/or the critical evaluation of the performance, progress, and competence of the residents.
USA There must be laboratories that provide resources for electrocardiography, ambulatory electrocardiogram (ECG) recording, exercise testing, echocardiography (including Doppler and transesophageal studies), and radionuclide techniques. Other hospital resources should include facilities for assessment of peripheral vascular disease and pulmonary physiology.
USA Diagnostic techniques, including: a. Magnetic resonance imaging b. Fast computed tomography c. Positron emission tomography

Feasibility of remote echocardiography with satellite transmission and real-time interpretation to support medical activities in the austere medical environment The study demonstrates the feasibility and diagnostic accuracy of remote, real-time echocardiography using satellite transmission for mass casualty triage or humanitarian relief efforts.

The robot and the satellite for teleoperating echographic examination in Earth isolated sites or onboard ISS At the expert center, the ultrasound medical expert moves a fictive probe, connected to a computer (n degrees 1) which sends, the coordinate changes of this probe via an ISDN or satellite line to a second computer (n degrees 2), located at the isolated site, which applies them to the robotic arm holding the real echographic probe. The system was also tested successfully using satellite links in a limited number of cases (approx 30). Arbeille et al J Gravit Physiol. 2004 Jul;11(2):P233-4

American College of Radiology : "White Paper on Radiation Dose in Medicine April 2007 The White Paper set forth practical suggestions to minimize radiation risk, including education for all stakeholders in the principles of radiation safety and preferential use of alternative (nonionizing) imaging techniques, such as MRI and ultrasound. These recommendations are especially relevant for cardiologists, who prescribe and/or practice medical imaging examinations accounting for at least 50% of the total effective dose by radiation medicine, which amounts to an equivalent of about 160 chest x-rays per head per year in US (=3.2mSv). Were they be enacted, these simple recommendations would determine a revolution in the contemporary way of teaching,
From benefit to risk-benefit The ALARA principle recognizes that there is no magnitude of radiation exposure that is known to be completely safe. This principle confers a responsibility on all physicians to minimize the radiation injury hazard to their patients, to their professional staff, and to themselves
