Webinar Overview

Orthopedic pain and injury are real risks for interventional cardiologists. In order to have a long and satisfying career in IC, it's important to learn to minimize these risks as much as possible and to address these issues as they arise.

Join an esteemed panel of IC and PT professionals to discuss leadership's role in creating and maintaining a safe and supportive enviroment, pregnancy while working in the cath lab, procedure-specific ergonomics, mitigating othopedic risks beyond the use of lead, and physical therapy techniques to prevent and treat pain.

This webinar is a collaboration of the SCAI Professional Wellbeing and Women in Innovations (WIN) Committees.
