T32 cardiology research

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Would you guys recommend this training to enhance chances in cardiology !? What are the Pros and cons ? Thx

Pros you can do research and fight for grants to answer mostly meaningless questions that have little impact on clinical care.

Cons you have to do research, salary takes a huge hit, more than 99% of what you do is garbage.
 
Waste of time (most require 2-3 year commitment) unless you’re a weak candidate. You’d be treated as cheap labor to do research for attendings.
