Simulation deficit in cardiology training: a missed opportunity for the modern trainee Cardiology training today exists in a paradox. As the specialty becomes more complex, particularly in procedural domains, the time and resources available to train new cardiologists have dwindled. Simulation has become an increasingly important component of modern cardiology training, offering a safe, structured and reproducible environment in which clinical skills can be developed and refined.1 The term simulation encompasses a broad spectrum of educational approaches, ranging from focused task training to high-fidelity scenario-based learning.
