Licensing & Credential Requirements
CST or CCI RCS (surgical technology or cardiovascular specialty) certification is the standard credential for travel CVOR Tech positions. BLS and ACLS certifications are universally required. Most states, including Texas, do not require a separate state license for cardiovascular technologists beyond national certification. However, verify current requirements with the Texas Department of Health before accepting an assignment, as regulations can change. Open-heart programs expect experience with CABG, valve, and thoracic cases. Facilities typically require a minimum of one year of dedicated CVOR experience, and larger programs may expect familiarity with robotic-assisted cardiac surgery setups.
