SCAI 2022 Fellows Courses – Advanced Structural Course

Advanced Structural Heart Disease Training for Future Interventional Cardiologists

Overview

The SCAI 2022 Fellows Courses – Advanced Structural Course is an intensive educational program developed by the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions as part of its annual Fellows Courses held in Miami, Florida (December 2–6, 2022).

This advanced course is specifically designed for interventional cardiology fellows seeking comprehensive training in the rapidly evolving field of structural heart disease interventions. Through expert-led lectures, case-based discussions, procedural planning workshops, and imaging-focused education, participants gain practical knowledge essential for transitioning from fellowship into independent structural heart practice.

The curriculum emphasizes patient selection, multimodality imaging, transcatheter valve therapies, left atrial appendage closure, emerging structural technologies, complication management, and heart-team decision making.

Taught by internationally recognized faculty, the course helps fellows achieve important milestones in patient care, procedural competency, medical knowledge, professionalism, and practice-based learning.
