The Principal User is the main contact between AACVPR and the program. This individual is in charge of coordinating subscription payments, controlling which staff members can enter data, and ensuring a program's subscription(s) stay active.

To designate a Registry Principal User for your program, please fill out and submit the AACVPR Registry Primary Contact Form.

All programs wishing to join a registry must complete a required Participation Agreement contract in order to gain access to the registry. (Note: If your program wishes to join the Cardiac & Pulmonary registries, your program will need to fill both the Cardiac Participation Agreement & the Pulmonary Participation Agreement).
