Clinical Research Pathway


Clinical trial teams advance cardiovascular science. ACC supports coordinators, investigators, and principal investigators with education, funding, and professional development.

Clinical Trials Research Workforce

Cardiology clinical trial teams include cardiologists, nurses, PAs, and PharmDs in roles from coordinator to principal investigator. The ACC Clinical Trials Research Program diversifies leadership in cardiovascular research — with 150+ learners enrolled since 2022.

From trial participant to research leader

Clinical skill alone does not make an investigator. ACC’s Professional Development hub includes programs that help you build trial leadership — alongside the full portfolio of career development options.
