Great discussion. But I think we’re missing the most important part. Graduating excellent fellows. If you want to focus on trainees, SCAI should advocate for setting better program requirements. Minimum 400 or 500 PCI, >50% radial, imaging requirements, atherectomy requirements, MCS requirements. Focus on that before other problems. Graduating excellent fellows should be #1. Doing 250 PCI is a very low bar.
