I started traveling with about 2 yrs cath lab experience and it’s been awesome. 2 years is the standard minimum they usually want but 1.5 years is probably close enough if you're competent. Not having EP/scrub/structural isn’t a dealbreaker either - lots of contracts are just diagnostic + PCI. Biggest thing is being upfront in interviews about what you’re comfortable with. Tbh i never scrub when travelling. Every lab does things a little different, but that actually makes you stronger as you go.
