This is the core curriculum for turning a clinically capable person — an RT, an RN, a telemetry or ECG tech — into someone your team trusts in the room. It replaces the improvised, "learn it off whoever's free" onboarding most labs rely on.
What it covers
- Cath lab orientation — the room, the team, the workflow, and the three seats (scrub, circulate, monitor).
- Cardiovascular anatomy & physiology — chambers, coronary anatomy, and the physiology that makes procedures make sense.
- Hemodynamics — pressures, the six core waveforms, and the transitions you must recognize live.
- Coronary physiology & imaging-guided PCI — how interventions are planned and executed.
- Devices & interventions — wires, balloons, stents, and the tools of the table.
- Safety, radiation, and professional standards — dose management, sterile technique, and patient safety.
Built for the room
Two volumes, 12 modules
Sequenced so each concept lands before the next depends on it — with workbooks and mastery exams throughout.
RCIS-aligned
Maps to the knowledge the RCIS tests, and includes a readiness practice exam.
Competency-tracked
Checklists tie learning to the three seats, so readiness is documented, not guessed.
Preceptor-supported
A preceptor guidebook makes training consistent no matter who's teaching that week.
Who it's for
New cath lab hires and the clinical staff moving into the lab — RTs, RNs, EMS, telemetry and ECG techs. And the labs that want a defined, repeatable path from new hire to independent tech instead of a sink-or-swim rotation.
See if it fits your lab.
