IM/Anes -- > Cardiac -- > CC?

Just heard an attending talking about how if you really love anesthesia, cardio and CCM the way to go would be a combined IM/Anesthesia residency (or even just anesthesia) then do a CC Fellow along with a cardiac anesthesia Fellowship. You would be a master of physio in regards to CC (due to the combined residency with IM) along with the procedures of Anesthesia. With the cardiac fellowship you can do nearly any anesthesia case and then man the CICUor even just ICU. Biggest drawback is... IM/Anes --> Cardiac --> CC?
