What's inside
- The supply gap, quantified — just 41 accredited cardiovascular technology programs nationally, only 2 with any EP track, graduating techs in the low hundreds a year.
- What the shortage costs — traveler premiums running ~130% over staff, up to 30% vacancy, ~33% preceptor burnout, and 6–12 month ramps.
- The leaky pipeline — how the cath and EP lab fills from adjacent roles, then loses its best people to travel contracts, industry, and burnout.
- The durable fix — a structured pathway that develops technologists from the capable people already inside your building.
- The programs & simulators — the ECG-through-EP learning pathway and the interactive simulators, mapped to RCIS/RCES readiness.
Who it's for: cardiovascular service-line directors, cath lab and EP managers, clinical
educators, and workforce-development leaders weighing how to staff a growing service line.
