DCVA Leadership Programme
The DCVA Leadership Program creates a network of talented and dedicated people who are seen as leaders in the future cardiovascular arena. The program is being directed by Professor Jolanda van der Velden, Chair of the DCVA Talent Program. It is now possible to register for the DCVA Leadership Program 2021.
Program design
Each year a group of 15 participants will start the 2-year program. These participants are divided in multidisciplinary groups having roots in various segments of the cardiovascular field. Each group works on a complex current challenge provided by partners of the DCVA. Besides 3 training days, participants will go on a trip, in Holland and possibly abroad, to work collaboratively as a group on their challenges. The program requires approximately 0.1 FTE of participants’ time. Application for the 2021-2022 program will be open in january 2021, and consists of a CV, motivation letter, and a recommendation letter by your supervisor.
