Features of the Cardiology Training Programme The five year Cardiology programme has been designed to provide trainees with a dual-accreditation in Cardiology as well as General (Internal) Medicine and will produce highly-qualified and very competitive CCTholders to support the exciting evolution of Cardiology. Core features of the Cardiology training programme are: • Trainee led - the e-Portfolio is designed to encourage a learner centred approach with the support of Educational Supervisors. The e-Portfolio contains tools to identify educational needs, enables the setting of learning goals, reflective learning and personal development. • Competency based – the curricula outline competences that trainees must reach by the end of the programme. The curriculum is directly linked to the e-Portfolio as it defines standards required for good medical practice and formal assessments including the Specialty Certificate Examinations (SCE) for Cardiology. • Continuation of Good Medical practice – building on Foundation & Core training the curriculum contains important emphasis on generic competences necessary for practice as a physician. • Supervision – each trainee has a series of people with clearly defined roles and responsibilities overseeing their training including Clinical Supervisor, Educational Supervisor, College Tutor, Training Programme Director, and Head of School. He/she may have separate Education Supervisors for Cardiology and General Internal Medicine. • Appraisal meetings with Supervisor – regular appraisal meetings and review of competence progression are set out in the e-Portfolio. • SCE examination - The SCE is an examination usually undertaken any time from ST4 onwards and is a compulsory component of assessment for Certificate of Completion of Training (CCT) and Certificate of Eligibility for Specialist Registration via the Combined Programme route (CESR(CP)). • Workplace-based assessments – regular workplace-based assessments are conducted throughout training building on those used in the Core programme with an annual ARCP. These include: Mini clinical evaluation exercise (mini-CEX) - is a workplace based method where direct observation of a trainees clinical skills during an everyday clinical encounter is assessed. These skills include medical interviewing ability, communication and clinical judgment and vary depending on the speciality.
