Education and training in cardio-oncology for the noncardiologist: current disparities and a proposal for the future
摘要Cardio-oncology remains a speciality dominated by cardiologists despite the importance of doctors from other specialties, such as oncology and haematology, for managing the cardiovascular health of patients living with cancer. A major reason for this is a distinct lack of cardio-oncology training opportunities for the noncardiology trainee. This is because of several factors, including a lack of awareness of cardio-oncology as a specialty. We propose a cardio-oncology training programme that involves early exposure to cardio-oncology as a specialty and provides the noncardiologist with a good understanding of cardiological investigations and treatment in the context of cancer treatment. Future work should elucidate additional barriers to cardio-oncology training as well as identifying programmes that have integrated cross-disciplinary cardio-oncology content to inform future curriculum development. Future work should also focus on establishing pilot cardio-oncology training programmes for the noncardiologist.
