SCAI produces and endorses clinical documents and guidelines to help practicing clinicians optimize patient care. The SCAI documents program is overseen by the Publications Committee. Through this committee, SCAI selects topics, vets and appoints individuals to serve on writing groups, and determines policies and procedures for document development and endorsement.

If you would like to recommend a topic or volunteer to serve as a reviewer or writing group member, please contact Emily Senerth at esenerth@scai.org.
