It is an exciting time to be a heart failure (HF) physician. After decades of stagnation in the development of effective treatments for HF, we are now enjoying a surge in new medical therapies, greater insights into pathophysiology, and extraordinary innovation in percutaneous and surgical interventions. However, simultaneously, the number of individuals living with and dying from HF continues to grow, with widening racial disparities in HF related deaths. In this landscape, the growth of a highly skilled, diverse, and agile advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology (AHFTC) workforce is essential.It may be surprising, then, to those of us who are passionate about the HF field, that in the three years since AHFTC fellowship programs began participating in the Electronic Residency Application Service (ERAS) and the two years since joining the National Resident Matching Program (NRMP), the number of applications to AHFTC programs has plateaued, and a significant number of programs have gone unfilled. For the 2020 matriculation year, 84 individuals applied to AHFTC fellowships through the NRMP, filling 80 of 115 (70%) positions (4 applicants did not match), leaving 30 of 63 (48%) programs with vacancies. For the 2021 matriculation year, 77 applicants applied through the NRMP, filling only 75 of 118 (64%) positions, and leaving 35 of 70 (50%) programs unfilled. 1 Of those applications submitted through ERAS but not entered into the Match, 106 were submitted for appointment year 2019, 129 were submitted for 2020, and only 120 were submitted for 2021. 2 These data also reveal disappointing progress in enhancing the diversity of our AHFTC workforce: in 2020, the proportions of women and trainees who
