3 I. INTRODUCTION During the past four decades the speed of progress in diagnostic methodologies and management of patients with cardiac disorders has been most remarkable from the introduction of new cardiac catheterization techniques, using new technologies and modifications on present devices such as the introduction of drug eluting. Stents, intravascular ultrasound and the recent development of easier embolectomy devices, in addition to the advances in non-invasive methods in echocardiography, with transesophageal applications, and marked leaps in the field of electrophysiology. The increased need for patients Saudi Cardiologists to serve the ever increasing number of patient with cardiac problems has simulated the creation of a formal Fellowship Program in Adult Cardiology, under the auspice of the Saudi Board of Internal Medicine. This program is designed to produce fully trained, certified and competent cardiology specialists, both in general context and, for those who elect to pursue further training, in the various subspecialties. 1
4 II. GENERAL SCOPE The purpose of the Saudi Adult Cardiology Training Program is to provide the enrolled physician with all the necessary training during a period of 3 years towards the acquisition of the Saudi Board in Cardiology.

Exposure to pathologic conditions ranging from the moderately ill to the seriously ill patient requiring intensive care. Significant experience in, and appreciation of the importance of diagnostic investigate studies.
5 Clinical cardiology - including patient history and comprehensive physical examination, cardiac cath laboratories, echo laboratories, stress, holter and electrophysiology.
