The DCVA Leadership Program creates a network of talented and dedicated people who are seen as leaders in the future cardiovascular arena.

Program design
Every two years 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 NLHI and other partners of the DCVA.

Besides 3 training days, participants will go on a trip, in the Netherlands and possibly abroad, to work collaboratively as a group on their challenges. The program is being directed by Professor Leon de Windt, Chair of the DCVA Talent Program.
