Roles for cardiologists in government, research councils and regulatory sectors
Clinicians have numerous opportunities to gain experience in governmental or regulatory organisations, including health technology assessment bodies and payors. These organisations often seek advice from individuals with clinical experience and knowledge, and they increasingly engage with the clinical community on a regular basis. Cardiologists can also take on formal advisory roles, either through working groups or ad hoc and standing committees. Additionally, there may be part-time or full-time employment opportunities available, often providing leadership in research councils.
