For Fellows-in-Training
This course will provide a solid foundation and the latest science and practice of Interventional Cardiology. Our goal is a comprehensive online learning opportunity that is aligned to ACGME/ABIM standards and thus the most relevant material for board exam preparation. This didactic material should serve as reinforcement to the hands-on education and guidance of fellowship training.
For Program Directors
SCAI aims to aid Program Directors through structured resources that provide guidance and direction to your Fellows-in-Training.
