n00b Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Diagnostic caths are sometimes performed by non-interventional cardiologists, but most of the PCI is done by those with interventional training, at least for new grads. I'd say it's fairly uncommon for people to apply to multiple subspecialties, but it does happen, particularly for cardiology applicants in the past and GI applicants today. It used to be that you were essentially entitled to an R4 spot in IM at your home program if you didn't match, but this may have changed with the move to CARMS and now the new 5 year program. I would ask your PD. Thanks. I assume most cardiology fellows do not go on to interventional fellowships. If so, do they end up mostly in outpatient cardiology clinics and inpatient cardiology units, aka no cardiology procedures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheech10 Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 No invasive procedures. Lots of echos, stress tests, holters, maybe diagnostic caths. Electrophyhsiologists also do a lot of inasive/interventional work (pacemakers, ablations). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
