Abstract

In the same way that the practice of cardiology has evolved over the years, so too has the way cardiology fellows in training (FITs) are trained. Propelled by recent advances in technology-catalysed by COVID-19-and the requirement to adapt age-old methods of both teaching and healthcare delivery, many aspects, or 'domains', of learning have changed. These include the environments in which FITs work (outpatient clinics, 'on-call' inpatient service) and procedures in which they need clinical competency. Further advances in virtual reality are also changing the way FITs learn and interact. The proliferation of technology into the cardiology curriculum has led to some describing the need for FITs to develop into 'digital cardiologists', namely those who comfortably use digital tools to aid clinical practice, teaching, and training whilst, at the same time, retain the ability for human analysis and nuanced assessment so important to patient-centred training and clinical care.
