The median age (interquartile range [IQR]) was 53 (49\u201361) years and median (IQR) years since medical school graduation was 28 (23\u201335) years. Over a third of CCL directors (39.4%) were IMGs and 38.4% had completed fellowship training at the same facility where they were CCL director. The median (IQR) <jats:italic>h<\/jats:italic>\u2010index was 11 (6\u201322). Of the 69.7% CCL directors who held faculty positions, 60.9% were professors and 30.4% were associate professors. From Medicare data, 45.5% performed only percutaneous coronary interventions, 41.4% performed structural interventions, 3.0% peripheral interventions, and 2.0% performed both structural and peripheral.
