Drs John Galla and Casey Becker put "the chairman in the hot seat" as they interview Dr Steve Nissen on the future of training for fellows. Do you agree that training is too long? Should cardiology be a freestanding specialty? How to complete training before becoming a grandparent? Is "resistance futile"? View this lively discussion and then share your thoughts with us!

Hi!

I am an Internal Medicine Resident in NJ and I would completely agree with Dr Nissen's comments regarding dissociation of Cardiology from Internal Medicine. Indeed in India we already have a 5 years DNB comprehensive Internal Medicine-Cardiology PG program offered by (for now) very selective institutes (as is a 5 yr Neurosurgery program straight out of Medical School). It only makes sense!
