Abstract
To compare the composition of cardiology training programs in Canada a nd the USA, we surveyed the directors of all Canadian and American tra ining programs. We found that Canadian trainees performed significantl y fewer procedures than USA trainees and that the chief determinants o f numbers of procedures performed are duration of time spent in a rota tion and the type of hospital where the program is based.
