Women in Innovations (WIN) | SCAI

The mission of the SCAI WIN program is to empower women in interventional cardiology, nurturing their leadership skills, professional development opportunities, education, collaboration, and research by and on behalf of women in interventional cardiology and their patients. 

The program leads educational initiatives supporting its mission, the SCAI-WIN CHIP fellowship, collaboration with other societies, and campaigns to improve the representation of women in interventional cardiology.

Encourage Women to Overcome Their Concerns 

Support the Campaign

Health concerns associated with radiation exposure and the physical toll of wearing radiation protection garments mean many women think twice about entering the field of interventional cardiology, with the consequence that only 8% of interventional cardiology fellows are women. 

Get involved and help women considering working in interventional cardiology make informed decisions about their careers.

SCAI-WIN CHIP Fellowship

Pursue Advanced Training in Complex and High-Risk Interventional Procedures

The SCAI-WIN fellowship is offered to interventional cardiology (IC) fellows or practicing interventional cardiologists interested in pursuing an additional year of advanced training beyond traditional IC fellowships, focusing on complex and high-risk interventional procedures (CHIP) and percutaneous acute mechanical circulatory support training in the cardiac catheterization laboratory.

Member Highlight

The SCAI WIN CHIP Fellowship ... not only allowed me increased exposure and comfort with CTOs, but increased my skillsets with other facets of complex-PCI including mechanical circulatory support, atherectomy, and difficult access. It also allowed me time to pursue some research pertaining to the field and to begin to formulate talks in the area.
