Opportunity to attend SCAI Fellows Course
22nd July 2022
Exciting opportunity for senior PCI trainees and fellows:
The Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) has invited BCIS to send one (1) interventional cardiology fellow to participate in the 2022 SCAI Fellows Course.
The SCAI Fellows Courses is the specialty’s premier Fellows-only course and is designed to provide an engaging environment in which attendees can interact with internationally recognized faculty. The curriculum offers participants a comprehensive education in core curricula, fundamental techniques and tools, and representative cases that will be essential to their future as a practicing interventionalist.
This year’s courses will be held December 2-6 at the Hyatt Regency, Miami FL. SCAI will offer free registration and will reimburse housing for four nights (December 2-5). In addition, BCIS is offering to provide economy class flights to and from Miami.
Please visit the SCAI website and the Fellows Page for additional details about this opportunity.
Application:
Please note, this opportunity is available to senior trainees (ST7) or PCI fellows only.
Interventional Cardiology Fellow Qualification: Nominated Fellow is currently in an accredited interventional cardiology fellowship program in the UK and has not previously attended the SCAI Fellows Course.
To apply, please submit the form at the bottom of this page which should include:

More about the course
SCAI’s Fellows Courses teach future generations of interventional cardiologists the knowledge and skills they need for post-fellowship practice.
If you are a current interventional cardiology fellow or are in, or have been accepted to, an advanced training program, explore which of the following four courses is the right one for you:
- Interventional Cardiology
- Congenital Heart Disease
- Advanced Peripheral Vascular
- Advanced Structural Heart Disease
All four courses are taught by an internationally recognized faculty in an engaging, collegial environment and scholarships are available for all fellows whose applications to attend one of the courses is accepted.
As travel restrictions ease post-pandemic, we are delighted to once again open applications for the Interventional Cardiology and Congenital Heart Disease Courses to international fellows.
