DCVA Leadership Program

DCVA Leadership Program

The DCVA Leadership Program creates a network of talented and dedicated people who will become future leaders in cardiovascular health. Every two years a group of 15 participants will start the 2-year program, led by Prof. Leon de Windt (Chair of the DCVA Talent Program). The 15 selected talents represent different expertises within the cardiovascular field, consisting of researchers, healthcare professionals, entrepreneurs, policy advisors, and patients. 

Through this program, they develop and deepen their competencies in collaboration, communication, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills. At the same time, they work with fellow experts from various disciplines on solutions for current issues in the cardiovascular field. During and after the completion of the program, they will form a network as DCVA ambassadors, actively working towards realizing the ambitions of the DCVA.
