Congratulations to Dr. Amy Winiger, NC Chapter CVT Liaison, who achieved FACC!
Fellowship in the American College of Cardiology identifies individuals to peers and patients alike as a cardiovascular professional at the very top of your field. Election to Fellowship is based on training and specialty board certification in cardiology. Members are expected to conform to high moral standards.
In addition, Winiger was recently appointed to serve as a Member of the ACC Cardiovascular Team Section Leadership Council for a three year term. As an incoming committee member, she is a leader in the College.
““I’ve always been passionate about our cardiovascular patients and our profession. It is both an honor and a privilege to be inducted as a Fellow”.”
Amy is also a Chapter Champion leading a collaboration effort with the Chilean Society of Cardiology (SOCHICAR) as part of the NC ACC Twinning Chapter to implement a series of educational webinars for nurses and other cardiovascular care team members who care for patients who have experienced a myocardial infarction (MI). Nurse champions identified by SOCHICAR at collaborative centers in Chile will attend the webinar series which will be delivered by recognized members of the ACC CV Team Section who in turn will train peers at their respective institutions. The educational content, based on the latest ACC/AHA clinical guidelines for post-MI care, will be culturally adapted to meet the needs of the Chilean patient population.
Amy is a Clinical Coordinator, AG-ACNP Program, with UNC Charlotte/Atrium Health APP Sanger Heart and Vascular Institute/Atrium Health.
