Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiology Fellowship Common Goals and Objectives

Pediatric Cardiac Anesthesiology is not an ACGME fellowship at the present time. However, the goals and objectives have been defined and published as a Consensus Statement by the Congenital Cardiac Anesthesia Society. There are 18 milestones expected from a 12-months fellowship and are based on the six core competencies:

  1. Medical knowledge
  2. Patient care
  3. Interpersonal and communication skills
  4. Professionalism
  5. Practice-based learning and improvement
  6. Systems-based practice
