Hospitalised children have become more medically complex and increasingly require specialised teams and units properly equipped to care for them. Within paediatric cardiology, this trend, which is well demonstrated by the expansion of cardiology-specific ICUs, has more recently led to the development of acute care cardiology units to deliver team-based and condition-focused inpatient care. These care teams are now led by paediatric cardiologists with particular investment in the acute care cardiology environment. Herein, we describe the foundation and development of an Acute Care Cardiology Advanced Training Fellowship to meet the clinical, scholarly, and leadership training needs of this emerging care environment.

住院儿童的医疗情况变得更加复杂，越来越需要配备适当装备的专业团队和单位来照顾他们。在儿科心脏病学领域，心脏病学专用 ICU 的扩张充分证明了这一趋势，最近导致了急症护理心脏病科的发展，以提供基于团队和以病情为中心的住院护理。这些护理团队现在由儿科心脏病专家领导，特别投资于急症护理心脏病学环境。在此，我们描述了急性护理心脏病学高级培训奖学金的建立和发展，以满足这一新兴护理环境的临床、学术和领导力培训需求。
