New York ceases, we will not forget the sacrifices made, lessons learned, and sincere gratitude to our community. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 

The global cardiology community should use the lessons learned from COVID-19 to innovate and improve fellowship training. This is an opportune time to further develop a truly competency-based education and evaluation system for fellows (3) . A continuation of multi-modality education, including telelearning, seems inevitable, with creative solutions for trainee and lifelong learning. The virtual learning platform has proven to be a useful tool to share knowledge and can even be interactive. In addition, the excitement for fellow-initiated research should be supported and expanded. Finally, enhanced emphasis on trainee wellbeing and burnout is now more important than ever.

The recent cardiology fellow experiences described by Hadley and colleagues remind us that training requires continuous evolution, nimbleness, and creativity, especially during difficult times. The next generation of cardiologists depends on it.
