“…As expected, trainees have been shown to have, in general, longer FT as compared with their supervisors [3,4]. However, it is unknown if cardiology trainees improve their efficiency in performing coronary angiography particularly in the first few years of training.…”

“…Trainee inexperience has been found to be associated with longer procedure times as assessed by fluoroscopy time [3,4]. Jensen et al determined a caseload of 150 coronary angiographies to obtain competency-defined as a median fluoroscopy time within the IQR of an expert [2].…”

“…Because of this unfamiliar dilemma due to inexperience, we were reminded of the so-called "July phenomenon" (when there is a perceived decrease in the quality of health care at the start of the North American academic year for medical training) [14] . Although the July phenomenon has been largely refuted,an abundance of evidence that "surgeon volume" matters across a range of operations including electrophysiology procedures [15,16] .…”

“…Fluoroscopy time (FT) has been suggested as an objective measure of proficiency where a decrement in FT time indicates increasing competency [2]. As expected, trainees have been shown to have, in general, longer FT as compared with their supervisors [3,4]. However, it is unknown if cardiology trainees improve their efficiency in performing coronary angiography particularly in the first few years of training.…”
