Additional benefits for Fellows-in-Training
Dedicated to training the next generation of interventional cardiovascular practitioners and leaders, additional benefits of SCAI membership for fellows-in-training include:
- SCAI Fellows Courses – held halfway through the academic year, this fellows-only meeting features expert faculty and offers education, simulation training, networking, and mentoring opportunities.
- Interventional Cardiology Fellows Essentials – a robust online course, designed to meet the educational needs of interventional cardiology Fellows-in-Training and support the work of Interventional Cardiology Program Directors.
Both designed to meet the educational needs of fellows-in-training and interventionalists in the first five years of practice.
