in each hospital ‘s invasive cardiovascular laboratory.

Students will rotate through all roles with a focus on scrubbing high risk procedures

and improving documentation skills.

Wk 13-15: Students will focus on an introduction into high risk structural

heart procedures, including left atrial appendage closures, mitral clips and

observing TAVR and TMVR procedures.
