I am so grateful for the doors the CVIS program opened for me. Gaining knowledge and experience allowed me to feel comfortable in an unfamiliar environment that I had an interest in but would not have pursued without going through the program.

Nothing is better than having the opportunity to assist world-renowned physicians and work with the new cutting-edge technologies being offered. Coming from a research background, I never really saw the difference or impact I was a part of. Here in the cath lab, we are the difference, and we see it in real time. I love being there for someone who needs us the most.
