Pediheart Podcast #204: The State Of Fetal Heart Disease Counseling Training in 2022

Summary: This week we delve into two areas of interest - fellowship training and fetal cardiology when we review a multi-center work endorsed by the Fetal Heart Society on the topic of fetal heart disease counseling. How is this skill taught to cardiology fellows and what are the deficiencies that present exist? Is empathy something that can be taught? What efforts are afoot regarding formalized curricula for this topic? What is the best way to train this critical skill for the cardiologist providing fetal cardiology counseling? We speak with the first author of this week's work, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics at UT Southwestern, Dr. Jenna Keelan. DOI: 10.1007/s00246-022-02882-4
