Cardiovascular Credentialing International (CCI) is a not-for-profit corporation that delivers vital support to a triad of professional societies, personal credentialing, and educational programs. For more than 50 years as a credentialing body focused on the heart and circulatory systems, CCI continues to improve the quality of patient care through the wholehearted support of the education and career ambitions of more than 30,000 individuals credentialed across nine certification programs.
At CCI, we know that successful educators foster successful students. For more than a decade, CCI’s Board of Trustees has ensured that funds are allocated to support the cardiovascular education community.
Each year, CCI hosts the Cardiovascular Educators’ Forum, an in-person gathering designed for faculty, program coordinators, and program directors who specialize in developing and teaching cardiac and vascular technology courses. Educators from invasive cardiovascular technology, echocardiography, vascular ultrasound, and electrophysiology programs across the United States and Canada are invited to participate. The forum provides a valuable opportunity for educators to network, share experiences, and engage in interactive presentations, group activities, and facilitated discussions. The 2026 forum will be held in late May and will continue this tradition of collaborative learning and professional development.
