1 Vice President, Education Position As the Vice President, Education, you will provide strategic direction as you lead and oversee all aspects of educational programs, products, and services at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI). Supervising a team of 2, you will identify gaps in education, create and implement newly developed and innovative programs, and work in close partnership with the education committee as you guide them through this process. SCAI s members know they can rely on our staff to deliver what they need. Building on a track record of trust and rapport, our members count on us to establish and develop programs that ensure they are meeting or exceeding industry standards. SCAI is the only society that fights for interventional cardiology by getting interventionalists their own designation for CMS; serving as the primary leader in securing new codes and establishing national reimbursement valuations for new interventional cardiology cardiovascular services and procedures; obtaining and expanding coverage for new and existing interventions; protecting the existing valuations for Interventional Cardiology s core procedures; and continually educating regulators about the value and intensity of interventional cardiology procedures. SCAI is financially strong ($8.5 million annual budget), and with our new executive director securely on board (an executive with a track record that includes a successful startup and three turn-around organizations), there are significant opportunities on deck for the organization. You will work closely with the executive director and the senior leadership team as we build upon an already successful platform of programs, implement new systems (you will come in the door at the early stages of our identification of a new LMS and AMS), improve upon current policies and procedures, and continue to serve as a go-to resource for our members. Success in this role entails a personal track record of smoothly launching new programs while deftly coming up to speed on the needs of the members and the industry. In your first year, you will be part of a team identifying and implementing the LMS; identify gaps in education; plan and launch new programs; work closely with and align program efforts with the senior associate director for quality initiatives; ensure all processes are compliant, documented, and running smoothly; and serve as a trusted partner to the education committee. You will assess opportunities to build up and build out new programs (e.g., cath lab for cardiovascular professionals / CVPs), and you will also scan, identify, and support grant submissions. Your efforts will also include staying abreast of continuing medical education rules and ensuring that SCAI stays within ACCME/MOC compliance for accreditation; maintaining, updating, and implementing the educational (and quality) goals in SCAI s Strategic Plan; and working closely with assigned staff and consultants. You will lead the administration of SCAI s online educational programs, ensuring especially that all online programs are properly integrated and managed. You will also work closely with the meetings team regarding compliance for SCAI educational meetings. Page 1 of 5
