    Hi Erica,

    My principal area of expertise is cardiac implantable electronic device management rather than invasive electrophysiology, so I wanted to check whether my background would be a good fit for this writing group before submitting a nomination.

    I am a co-author of the Australian CIED Competency Document for Allied Health Professionals:
    https://cardiq.org/resource/cardiac-implantable-electronic-device-competency-document-allied-health/

    I am also the immediate past Chair of Professionals in Cardiac Sciences Australia (PiCSA):
    https://picsa.org.au/

    My clinical practice is primarily in cardiac device management, including implantation support, follow-up, programming, troubleshooting and remote monitoring, rather than EP studies and ablation.

    Would expertise specifically in cardiac rhythm device management be within the intended scope of the writing committee?

    Kind regards,
    Miriam
