Abstract
Background: The Internet is the primary source of information for prospective cardiology fellowship aspirants. The objective of this study was to evaluate cardiology fellowship programs' online profile. Materials & methods: Two independent reviewers accessed 221 US based cardiology fellowship program websites obtained through Fellowship and Residency Electronic Interactive Database for pre-selected 20 criteria. The update status of websites was assessed using 6-point criteria. Results: Only 25 (11.3%) websites were fully up-to-date; 23 (10.4%) fulfilled 80% of the 20-point criteria and 85 (38.5%) program websites had fewer than 50% of the criteria listed. Conclusion: Most cardiology fellowship program websites lack crucial details. In this technology driven age, efforts should be made to ensure updated websites.
