30 in Their 30s Awards
SCAI's annual awards program recognizes the accomplishments of early-career interventional cardiologists who have the qualities required to be one of the field's future leaders.
Recipients will already demonstrate their leadership qualities, superior technical skill, advanced decision-making in complex-clinical scenarios, and dedication to improving patient outcomes in their practice.
SCAI will honor recipients at Scientific Sessions in the year of their award and feature them in communications to our global community.
Early Career Research Grants
While cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality in the US have risen, funding for clinical research has remained relatively stagnant. As a result, early career cardiovascular interventionalists interested in research have found it increasingly difficult to fund their work.
In response, SCAI's Early Career Research Grants fund one year of research and support the career development of the next generation of academic interventional cardiologists.
Emerging Leaders Mentorship (ELM) Program
ELM is a two-year program that combines coaching, mentoring, and training approaches with networking opportunities to facilitate the clinical and professional development of early career interventionalists.
Interventional Cardiology Fellowship Match
The Match is the program that regulates the applications process for interventional cardiology fellowships on behalf of institutions and candidates.
It sets reasonable, standardized timelines which facilitate a fair and respectful process that enables candidates to make informed and best decisions about which career path and associated fellowship program is right for them.

JSCAI Editorial Reviewers who complete the fellowship will be recognized at SCAI Scientific Sessions and SCAI Fellows Courses.
LEAD: LAAO Program
Transforming Access, Careers, and Lives
The LEAD: LAAO program is designed to accelerate progress in interventional cardiology by connecting experienced WATCHMAN™ Left Atrial Appendage Closure device implanters (Device Leaders) with forward-thinking interventionalists working to expand access to evidence-based therapies (Access Leaders).
Selected participants will engage in a two-day immersive in-person exchange that includes observed live cases, sharing of best practices, and treatment access and community outreach-focused presentations and discussions.
Mentor Connect
SCAI's mentoring program is the ultimate tool for member-driven professional development. Built as an extension of the MySCAI platform, this unique online networking and career development module helps you find, connect, and share experiences with other SCAI members.
Become a mentor and help guide and advise mentees or sign up as a mentee to learn from your peers. Your mentor or mentee can be in the same city or on the other side of the world.
Enroll by May 31 for the 2026 Program
Occupational Health
Every day, staff in the cardiac catheterization laboratory face demands and hazards unique to interventional cardiology.
Given the expansion in the number and complexity of transcatheter cardiac interventions over time, it is imperative that, as a community, interventional cardiology understands the risks it faces.
SCAI advocates for workplace safety standards and fosters a collaborative community to achieve intentional, positive change in operators' physical and mental well-being.
Women in Innovations (WIN) Program
Delivering high-caliber scientific information and professional development and networking opportunities for women in interventional cardiology, including:
The SCAI-WIN CHIP Fellowship, offering an additional year of advanced training to women who are IC fellows or practicing interventional cardiologists.
