Sample Question

ST3 Cardiology Interview

Where will Cardiology be in 10 years time?

Think in both organisational and clinical terms

Organisation of primary, intermediate, secondary and tertiary services
• Consider expanded roles of GPSIs and community nurses
• Which services will be provided in secondary care
• What will remain the preserve of tertiary/quaternary centres

Changing population factors
• What services will expand in an aging population?
• Impact of altered prevalence of risk factors (e.g. less tobacco use, more obesity and diabetes)
• Geographical distribution of service provision

Novel treatments
• New pharmacology options (anticoagulation, antiarrhythmics, antiplatelets, neuroendocrine)
• Evolution of existing modalities (PCI, EP, devices)
• New modalities (stem cells, novel surgical prosthesis, grown to order organs)

Pitfalls to avoid
o Avoid absurd flights of fancy
o Do not be over technical, make answers accessible to non cardiologists on the panel
