JSCAI Editorial Fellowship Program

We Invite You to Apply for the Next JSCAI Editorial Fellowship Program

Program Overview

The JSCAI Editorial Fellowship Program offers fellows-in-training and early-career interventional cardiologists the opportunity to enhance their skills as peer reviewers, gain insight into editorial decision-making, and contribute to the continued success of JSCAI.

The two-year program pairs early career interventionalists and trainees with a JSCAI Deputy or Associate Editor who shares their clinical area of interest. This arrangement provides editorial fellows with mentorship from professionals with extensive editorial and publishing experience. Selected candidates will receive training on JSCAI’s editorial procedures and peer review system.

JSCAI editorial fellows are expected to attend JSCAI editorial meetings regularly, participate in editorial discussions, and peer review manuscripts. Based on need and interest, editorial fellows may also have the opportunity to author editorials and review papers, participate in the SCAI Conversations in Interventional Cardiology video series, engage with JSCAI social media outreach, and participate in other journal activities. 

Successful candidates will be recognized as JSCAI Editorial Fellows at the SCAI Scientific Sessions and the SCAI Fellows Courses. 

Who Can Apply?

Fellows-in-training and early career interventionalists.

SCAI defines an early career interventionalist as six years (or fewer) out of board exams. If you took a non-linear career path or have had breaks in your career, SCAI will still consider you for this opportunity even if you fall outside of the required range. Please note this in your application statement.
