Registered Cardiovascular Invasive Specialist
- Registered Cardiovascular Invasive Specialist
A Registered Cardiovascular Invasive Specialist or RCIS assists a cardiologist with cardiac catheterization procedures in the United States.
These procedures can determine if a blockage exists in the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle and can help diagnose other problems.
To become registered they have to pass the registry proctured by CCI (Cardivascular Credentialing International). To be registry eligible, they must have worked in the Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory for two years or have graduated from a registry eligible program. Sante Fe Community College in Gainesville, Florida has one such accredited program.
The exam consists of 175 multiple choice questions. Some questions involve mathematical computation as well as pictures where one must identify anatomy and equipment.
