They also learned about the nine essential nutrients that milk provides, and that serving milk for dinner is an easy way to help build a strong family both physically and emotionally. How delicious!

America Faces Cardiologist Shortage
H
eart disease remains the number-one killer in the United States. There is no shortage of patients needing cardiologists -- and yet there aren’t enough doctors to go around. According to a new report released by the American College of Cardiol-
ogy (ACC), the number of practicing cardiologists will need to double be- tween 2000 and 2050 to accommodate aging baby boomers, and a growing population of heart disease patients. “We have a significant shortage of 3,000 cardiologists in the workplace
today, and all indicators are that it’s going to get worse if we don’t do some- thing,” said George P. Rodgers, M.D., F.A.C.C., chair of the ACC Board of Trustees Workforce Task Force. The ongoing obesity epidemic and new treatments, which allow patients
to live longer with heart disease, are increasing the demand for cardiologists. At the same time, more than 40 percent of cardiologists in the current work- force are over the age of 55, and nearing retirement. Training opportunities for cardiologists are limited -- in the 1990s, policy-
makers wrongly assumed that family practitioners would treat heart disease, resulting in a 25 percent cut in the number of cardiologist training spots. While other medical fields have a growing number of women and minorities, they remain underrepresented in cardiology. African Americans and Hispan- ics form only 6 percent of all cardiologists, women only 12 percent. In its report, the ACC recommends solutions, including expanding the
number of fellowship positions, reducing known factors that may encourage early retirement and creating incentives for underrepresented minorities to consider cardiology, as well as encouraging a team-based approach to cardi- ology care that leverages the skills and expertise of nurse practitioners and physician assistants. “We need to advocate for more training spots and funding for cardio-
vascular specialists and, in the meantime, find creative and more effective ways of delivering care,” said Alfred A. Bove, M.D., F.A.C.C., president of the ACC. “Team-based care is a major opportunity for improving the current and future workforce crisis.” For more information, visit
