Employers Need Professionals with Validated Skills
Healthcare continues to evolve, and demand will increase for professionals who have validated skills and training.
As the globally recognized high-quality provider of credentialing programs for cardiovascular professionals (nurses, advanced practice providers, allied health professionals, technologists), Cardiovascular Credentialing International (CCI) administers programs to demonstrate the specialized knowledge and skills necessary for various cardiovascular specialties.

Hiring CCI-credentialed professionals will help your organization:
- Recruit and retain good healthcare practitioners
- Increase your staff competency level

Credential Recognition
CCI and its credentials are recognized by various membership and accreditation organizations that play a role in setting standards in the cardiovascular profession. In addition, contractors of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) who determine LCDs also recognize CCI credentials.
CCI holds accreditation from the ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) under the ANSI/ISO/IEC 17024 Personnel Certification Accreditation standard. By achieving this accreditation, CCI demonstrates the ability to carry out certification activities in accordance with a global benchmark that publicly identifies the credibility, impartiality, and technical competence of CCI’s credential programs.
