The cardiology clinical trial research workforce is comprised of a wide spectrum of specialists and roles. ACC members, including cardiologists, nurses, physician assistants and PharmDs have opportunities to develop instrumental roles, including clinical research coordinator, investigator and principle investigators.

The ACC is committed to promoting clinical research in cardiovascular care. They established the Clinical Trials Research Program to diversify leadership and workforce in cardiovascular clinical research. Over 150 learners, including almost 100 women, have enrolled since July 2022. The ACC offers career resources and funding opportunities in clinical trials research.
