The Crucible of Crisis illness that can manifest as severe derangements of the respiratory, cardiac, and immune systems (1) . Many patients presenting with acute complications of COVID-19, especially those with underlying cardiovascular comorbidities, have succumbed to its devastating morbidity and mortality (1) . As of April 6, 2020, >1.2 million COVID-19 cases have been reported worldwide, resulting in nearly 70,000 deaths globally (2) . The COVID-19 pandemic has also resulted in a cataclysmic stress on our health care system, organizational structure, and health care workforce. It has abruptly and adversely impacted the cardiology fellows-in-training (FIT) and early career (EC) cardiovascular professional community. Given the critical need for rapid assimilation and dissemination of knowledge regarding COVID-19, the Journal is pleased to share with our FIT-EC readership a series of insightful perspectives from courageous members of our community. We herein provide a brief introduction to this collection and posit questions for readers to consider as they peruse these papers.
