Dear CCI Community,
As we close 2024, I’m filled with pride reflecting on our organization’s enduring mission of Wholehearted Validation. For over five decades, CCI has been the cornerstone of cardiovascular credentialing, elevating patient care through our unwavering support of healthcare professionals.
This year marked a significant milestone as we surpassed 30,000 credential holders – a testament to the growing commitment to excellence in cardiovascular care. Throughout 2024, we’ve deepened our connections across the cardiovascular community. Our presence at industry conferences, the success of our annual Cardiovascular Educator’s Forum, and our expanded social media engagement have created meaningful opportunities for professional growth and networking. These initiatives reflect our commitment to not just validating excellence, but fostering a vibrant, supportive professional community.
The dedication of our volunteers continues to be the foundation of CCI’s success. Whether serving as item writers for our exam committees, contributing expertise to examination updates, or participating in term-based opportunities, their knowledge and commitment drive our mission forward. We enthusiastically welcome new volunteers and invite you to share your expertise by completing our volunteer interest form.
As we enter 2025, we remain committed to championing professional advancement and providing the resources needed for continued success. While our history spans 50 years, our passion for advancing cardiovascular care burns brighter than ever. To our credential holders: you truly are at the heart of everything we do.
This year’s achievements wouldn’t have been possible without our credential holders, outstanding leadership team, devoted volunteers, educational partners, and ambitious candidates. Thank you for your unwavering dedication to excellence in cardiovascular care.
With gratitude,
J Todd Belcik, BS, ACS, RCS, RDCS, FASE, President, Cardiovascular Credentialing International
