The curriculum set forth in this document represents a succinct but complete framework of the knowledge needed for a pediatric heart failure specialist that is aligned with ISHLT’s Pediatric Heart Failure Guidelines (2014). It also enables established programs to assess their knowledge gaps and provides a framework on which new programs can build. It will serve to establish ISHLT as the leading community for pediatric heart failure knowledge and training and encourage collaborative research and innovation

This document will help lead to the development of an ISHLT Academy Core Competency Course that will be of significant interest to ISHLT members as well as throughout the entire pediatric cardiology community.
