| Description |
The Summer School Cardiology is a five-day, English-taught educational program coordinated by the UMCG Cardiology team. Renowned experts with publications in leading medical journals such as The Lancet, Nature Medicine, and The New England Journal of Medicine will give interactive lectures, offering valuable insights into the latest developments in cardiovascular research and clinical practice. The program is structured around five key themes in cardiology: Heart Failure, Cardiac Rhythm/Electrocardiology, Ischemic Heart Disease, Cardio-oncology, and Future Directions in Cardiology Research. Through a dynamic and interactive educational program consisting of clinical lectures, case-based discussions, research seminars, and PhD speed-dating sessions, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of both the latest research and clinical practice in cardiology. Throughout the summer school, there will be allocated hours for working on a research proposal, where participants will work in groups to propose a novel therapeutic strategy or drug aimed at improving outcomes in heart failure or cardiomyopathies to a panel of principal investigators. Participants who demonstrate exceptional interest and performance during the summer school may have the opportunity to discuss potential research internships or a joint PhD with members of the UMCG Cardiology Research team. Participants will also have the opportunity to take part in a variety of social activities, offering a chance to experience Dutch culture and explore the vibrant city of Groningen. Additionally, a dedicated networking event will allow you to connect with professors and PhD students from the UMCG Cardiology Research team. |
