Held in partnership with the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the Cardiovascular Research Foundation, the two-year SCAI-ELM program supports the next generation of national and societal leaders in interventional cardiology. This highly selective program provides mentorship, development and support to attend the SCAI Scientific Sessions. ELM members are paired with preeminent mentors in the field who provide dedicated oversight over their training which spans clinical and academic scholarship, speaking opportunities, clinical trial leadership, as well as providing opportunities for lead roles within the societies.
Dr. Altin earned her undergraduate and medical degree from Harvard University and Harvard Medical School. She completed her residency training at Yale New Haven Hospital.
