One of the key needs identified by the European Society of Cardiology is the training of future leaders in arrhythmia management and research. For this purpose, the educational programme ‘Diploma of Advanced Studies in Cardiac Arrhythmia Management’ (DAS-CAM) has been established. UMIO designs and facilitates the Leadership Development Trajectory that is part of several modules of this two-year programme. At the end of January, the participants gathered in Brussels for module 5 on ventricular tachycardia.
The DAS-CAM programme is a joint collaboration between Maastricht University Medical Center (MUMC+), European Heart Academy (EHA) and the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA). This unique course trains future leaders in arrhythmology from all over the world to deliver state-of the-art cardiovascular services.
Excel as a leader
In addition to substantive training in cardiac arrhythmia management, the cardiologists and electrophysiologists also learn how to excel in a managerial position. This is done through a Leadership Development Trajectory designed by UMIO and facilitated by Prof. Dr. Marielle Heijltjes, Prof. Dr. Piet Eichholtz, Martin Lammers, Prof. Dr. Jan Cobbenhagen, Prof. Dr. Simon de Jong and former colleagues of SBE, Prof. Dr. Hein Schreuder and Prof. Dr. Anneloes Raes.
At the end of January, the module on ventricular tachycardia took place in Brussels. On behalf of UMIO, Prof. Dr. Simon de Jong and Prof. Dr. Anneloes Raes provided the leadership sessions of this module.
The current group of 32 participants is the second batch since the start of the DAS-CAM programme. Their first module took place in February 2019 and their eighth and last module will take place in October this year.
