Master Interventionalists of SCAI (MSCAI)

The Master Interventionalist of SCAI (MSCAI) designation recognizes outstanding members of our Society. Peers nominate them for receipt of the designation of MSCAI for having exemplified excellence in interventional cardiology practice throughout their careers and commitment to the highest levels of clinical care, innovation, publication, and teaching.

A new class of MSCAI are nominated every year by their peers in the SCAI member community. While only currently active FSCAI can be nominated, any SCAI member can submit a nomination. 

SCAI members will be notified by email and via the website when nominations open in Fall 2026 for the MSCAI class of 2027.
