To thrive as a Cath Lab Assistant, you need a solid understanding of cardiovascular anatomy, sterile technique, and patient care, often supported by a relevant associate degree or certification in cardiovascular technology. Familiarity with cath lab equipment, radiologic imaging systems, and electronic health records is typically required. Attention to detail, teamwork, and effective communication are vital soft skills in this role.
