The arrhythmia faculty directs this weekly conference on ECG interpretation. The conference is attended by Cardiology Fellows, EP subspecialty fellows. Internal Medicine Residents on cardiology rotations or with special interest in cardiology are encouraged to attend as are medical students assigned to cardiology rotations. Topics of advanced interpretation beyond that provided in internal medicine training are highlighted by surface 12-lead ECG’s and intra-cardiac electrograms brought to each conference by Cardiology Fellows, EP subspecialty fellows, and the arrhythmia faculty. At intervals, “ECG tests” with a format similar to the Cardiology Boards are given to provide the residents with additional feedback about their strengths and weaknesses in ECG interpretation.
