Work with PrepMD Professionals Career and Placement Services
I just wanted to thank y'all for helping me out these last few months. Whether it was helping me get started, understanding the material, helping me with the programmers, or helping me find a job, I couldn't have gotten where I'm at now without each and every one of you. I've moved to Austin, have started at Texas Heart & Vascular and I've already started noticing the knowledge and preparation I got from PrepMD coming in handy even in training.
After working in hospitals and acute cardiac care for over 25 years I was looking for a flexible online learning solution to advance my career. A coworker told me about the Passport Series and I leaped at the chance. The challenging content is made interesting and exciting to learn with hours of available lectures, easy study quizzes and games.

A coworker told me about the Passport Series and I leaped at the chance. The challenging content is made interesting and exciting to learn with hours of available lectures, easy study quizzes and games.
What I liked most about attending the workshop is the hands-on experience with the programmers and simulated patients. Also, having Greg, Susan, Kyle, and Amanda to really answer a multitude of questions and getting each of their perspectives on their own experiences in the field.
The amount and quality of content truly blew me away and I would recommend the resource to anyone from seasoned hospital and clinic staff to new graduates wanting to get their foot in the door in this exciting and growing field.
Upon completion of the online solution I felt very prepared for certification and these careers and was able to secure a position as a cardiac remote monitoring associate. I am so thankful to be taking care of cardiac patients everyday.
The flexibility and independence is the primary reason for signing up for Passport. It is very easy to logon anywhere at anytime to study for a while. It is also a good fit due to the content being easy to understand, even as we get into the advanced concepts.
What I like most about the Passport Series Online Learning Modules is the video lessons and the ability to retake and reuse the quizzes to solidify concepts.
Although it was nerve wracking, the thing I liked best about the workshop was being forced to speak on concepts in front of the group which was very helpful and created a greater mastery of the subject matter.
Who: Cardiac allied healthcare professionals, Cardiac industry professionals, Individuals looking to break into or advance their cardiac career – Prepare for an industry or clinical role such as a Structural Heart/Interventional Cardiology Clinical specialist, Sales Representative or Cath Lab Tech
Learning Bundle Overview: The Passport Series IC/SH Pathway online learning material is divided into two bundles with 5 months access to each. Bundles 1 and 2 are completed prior to attending a workshop which can all be completed in only 3-5 months. When purchasing Bundle 2, the user maintains access to Bundle 1, providing the flexibility of a full ten months of access to the online material, if needed. The Interventional Cardiology/Structural Heart bundle assumes no prior knowledge of the cardiac space, beginning with foundational lessons in anatomy and rhythm analysis and progressing all the way to advanced concepts and virtual clinical rotations.
Build a strong conceptual and practical understanding of interventional cardiology and structural heart therapies. Whether you are transitioning from an adjacent field or starting fresh in your cardiac career, you will achieve a comprehensive understanding of the disease states of interventional cardiology and structural heart subspecialties as well as the clinical applications and devices used to diagnose and treat these diseases. You will retain 5 months access to each learning bundle and experience virtual clinical rotations with accompanying instruction outlining these catheter-based procedures and the key procedural roles and responsibilities of the clinical specialist working for a medical device company and a cath lab tech working for a healthcare system.
Learning Modalities: Video Lessons and their accompanying Knowledge Checks, Checkpoints that highlight key concepts, Postcard Puzzles to improve visual memory, 3D interactive Virtual Tours, and Milestones that allow you to assess your comprehension and critical thinking for the entire course.

November 13-17, 2023
Workshops encompass onsite lectures and concept review, simulated laboratory and clinical follow-up scenarios, virtual clinical rotations, and rigorous written and practical assessments. The learning experience includes classroom settings, Cath Lab simulations and virtual case observations. Workshops are overseen by CCDS-certified personnel and individuals will be continuously assessed for proficiency.
The 1 week IC/SH workshop is the most comprehensive option for those interested in taking their career to the next level. The objective of the 1 week IC/SH workshop is to give individuals an opportunity to prepare for a cath lab technician or a structural heart device representative. This workshop is designed for extensive practical application of previously acquired concepts, and as such is not intended to be an individual’s first foray into the material. Attendees will receive intensive practical learning opportunities and scenario-driven simulations. Workshop attendees will build off of concepts from online learning in imaging workshops, guided live cases, group projects, and hands-on experience with the tools and equipment of the cath lab. Daily assessments are included to help track progress and understanding of the concepts.
Imaging assessment including angiography, echocardiography, IVUS, and OCT
CHIP patient management and case studies
Cath lab environment, roles, workflow, and equipment
Rhythms, 12 leads, and cardiac rhythm management
SH interventions: congenital, valves, and left atrial appendage management
Ongoing daily assessments
