CardioNerds Amit and Dan are joined by Dr. Nosheen Reza, chair of the ACC FIT section, to announce the launch of the CardioNerds Case Reports: Recruitment Edition Series! In this exciting project, the CardioNerds collaborated with the ACC FIT section to invite every fellowship program to co-produce a case-based episode. Fellows from the program present and discuss a fascinating case and an expert provides the E-CPR editorial, followed by a message to applicants from the program director. We've asked every program to help us promote diversity in their fellow ambassadors to the CardioNerds show.

We also discuss the value of podcasts and innovations in medical education, Dr. Reza's perspectives and advice for the upcoming virtual recruitment, getting involved with the ACC as fellows-in-training (#FIT!), promoting diversity and inclusion within cardiology, and Dr. Reza's advice for thriving during fellowship.

We also introduce the brand new CardioNerds Academy! We will be growing the platform by offering a uniquely tailored and mentored experience to several future CardioNerds Fellows. Our goal is to teach our CardioNerds Fellows the ropes of med-ed podcasting through a comprehensive curriculum with dedicated mentorship. We are honored to have recruited Dr. Justin Berk as program director and Dr. Heather Kagan as associate program director.
