AbstractBackground:Preventive cardiology is currently not an American Board of Medical Specialties‐recognized subspecialty. However, several programs offer nonaccredited 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. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Dr. McBride is codirector of one of the fellowship programs listed, but otherwise has no relevant disclosures. The authors have no funding, financial relationships, or conflicts of interest to disclose.
