Discussing why these faculty chose careers in cardiology and their passion for their work are essential components to inspiring interest in the field.\n\n\n\nEach talk will feature a cardiology faculty from an underrepresented group, within at least one of several domains: gender, race, ethnicity, religion, national origin, international graduate status, disadvantaged backgrounds, etc.\n\n\n\nFeatured faculty will also represent a variety of practice settings, academic ranks, subspecialties (e.g. clinical cardiology, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, etc), and career paths (e.g. division chief, journal editor, society leadership, industry consultant, etc).\n\n\n\nFaculty will be interviewed by fellows-in-training for a two-part discussion that will focus on:\n\n\n\n1) Faculty's content area of expertise2) Faculty's personal and professional narrative\n\n\n\nAs part of their narrative, faculty\xa0 will discuss their unique path to cardiology and their current professional role with particular attention to challenges, successes, and advice for junior trainees. Specific topics will be guided by values relevant to trainees, including issues related to mentorship, work-life integration, and family planning.\n\n\n\nTo help guide this important initiative, the CardioNerds Narratives Council was founded to provide mentorship and guidance in producing the Narratives series with regards to guests and content.
