Learning Outcomes

The Summer School Cardiology program is structured around five main themes (Heart Failure, Cardiac Rhythm/Electrocardiology, Ischemic Heart Disease, Cardio-oncology, and Future Directions in Cardiology Research), with one theme covered each day. Each day features a balanced program of interactive clinical and research lectures related to the topic, complemented by patient perspectives and hands-on workshops such as practical ECG sessions and making echocardiograms.

The full program will be uploaded in the coming weeks, so please stay tuned!

After this course you will be able to:

1. Gain comprehensive clinical perspectives on the diagnosis, management, and treatment of cardiovascular diseases,
2. Understand and critically evaluate current advances in cardiology research,
3. Gain insight into future directions and innovations in cardiovascular research, including the use of –omics to identify novel therapeutic targets for heart diseases,
4. Interpret and apply cardiovascular imaging and diagnostic tests through interactive workshops.

Upon successful completion of the programme, the Summer School offers a Certificate of Attendance that mentions the workload of 45 hours (28 hours corresponds to 1 ECTS). Students can apply for recognition of these credits to the relevant authorities in their home institutions, therefore the final decision on awarding credits is at the discretion of their home institutions. We will be happy to provide any necessary information that might be requested in addition to the certificate of attendance.
