title: Subspecialty training in preventive cardiology: the current status and discoverable fellowship programs.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Preventive cardiology is currently not an American Board of Medical Specialties-recognized subspecialty. However, several programs offer non-accredited fellowships throughout the country. No source currently exists listing all available programs, and finding programs requires time-intensive search strategies. Our aim was to find all current preventive cardiology fellowships in the United States and describe their basic structure, duties, and faculty.
  
  
  METHODS
  We searched the Internet, contacted national organizations, and networked through any institution thought likely to have a fellowship.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We found 15 programs currently offering subspecialty training in preventive cardiology but with considerably different styles, structures, duties, clinical time, lengths, and hosting departments.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We provided a list of these programs and discussed the implications for the future of formal subspecialty preventive cardiology education.
