Program Details Representative Certification

The recent tightening of regulations has made selling to healthcare professionals more challenging than ever. With health systems restricting access, and formularies and budgets being limited, sales representatives and clinical support staff need a competitive edge.

Certified Cardiovascular Industry Representative (CCIR) Course

Sales representatives and clinical support staff can enhance their medical and procedural knowledge by taking Clinical Difference's CCIR course.

After completing the CCIR course, representatives will have a comprehensive understanding of the devices and technology currently in use and be able to communicate more effectively -- and confidently -- with physicians. They will also be able to more precisely present physician feedback to their companies' medical affairs, healthcare economics, and R&D departments.

The CCIR combines home study with live e-learning opportunities. The course can be customized to your reps' particular needs.

What does CCIR Include?

Web-Based Training

Six eLearning modules covering 26 key topics in cardiovascular medicine. Topics range from a Cardiac Anatomy Primer to Reimbursement and Regulations.

Live video conferences with interventional physicians who review information learned within each program and present case studies.
