For one manager

Say which lab you are staffing: invasive, echo, vascular, or rhythm. Ask about call, the credential, and how many cases the person has run without help.

License and training

Most states do not license this work directly. Employers usually ask for a credential from Cardiovascular Credentialing International, such as RCIS or RCS, or from ARDMS for echo. A few states license imaging or sonography staff, so confirm the rule in your state before you hire or start.
