Background: Preventive cardiology is currently not an American Board of Medical Specialties-recognized subspecialty. However, several programs offer nonaccredited fellowships throughout the country. No source currently exists listing all available programs, and finding programs requires time-intensive search strategies. Our aim was to find all current preventive cardiology fellowships in the United States and describe their basic structure, duties, and faculty. Methods: We searched the Internet, contacted national organizations, and networked through any institution thought likely to have a fellowship. Results: We found 15 programs currently offering subspecialty training in preventive cardiology but with considerably different styles, structures, duties, clinical time, lengths, and hosting departments. Conclusions: We provided a list of these programs and discussed the implications for the future of formal subspecialty preventive cardiology education.
