Presentation Slides

Pdf Summary

The document is a 2025 MedAxiom presentation entitled "Transitioning from Fellow to Clinical Faculty," primarily presented by Ana A. Mercurio-Pinto, VP of Care Transformation. It features contributions from special guests Dr. Tripti Gupta, an Assistant Professor of Medicine specializing in Adult Congenital Heart Disease, and Dr. Carlos Vergara, a CV Fellow at Mayo Clinic.<br /><br />Key statistics from the presentation highlight challenges in cardiology workforce demographics and recruitment. Notably, 25% of cardiologists are over the age of 61, hinting at impending workforce shortages due to projected annual full-time equivalent (FTE) losses. Currently, there are 32,000 practicing cardiologists, 8,000 of whom are over 61, with an annual FTE loss of approximately 1,600, creating a net annual workforce impact of 444, as only 1,156 fellows enter the workforce each year.<br /><br />The presentation underscores that recruiting new cardiologists is expected to remain difficult. In the 2022 academic year, there were significant fellowship training achievements: 1,188 total fellows, with 1,053 completing training and only 435 entering the workforce as clinical cardiologists. Subspecialties such as Interventional Cardiology and Critical Care Medicine had higher numbers of those entering the workforce.<br /><br />The document also draws distinctions between millennials and baby boomers, noting generational differences in work values, styles, and technology use. Millennials favor work-life balance and technology, while boomers are characterized by a strong work ethic and traditional values. True or False questions provoke thought on common generational stereotypes.<br /><br />Finally, a Q&A segment allows for further discussion with Ana A. Mercurio-Pinto. The document emphasizes the confidential nature of the information, as noted by repeated warnings against distribution without permission.
