The 2019 Emerging Leaders cohort, which includes candidates from 18 countries across 5 continents, has been announced.
The WHF Salim Yusuf Emerging Leaders Programme was created by the World Heart Federation to form and develop a long-term cadre of experts who collaborate, research, and act to reduce premature mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD) globally.
The 2019 cohort marks the sixth year of the programme and will focus on heart failure. The 25 successful candidates will participate in online training, a five-day think tank seminar and collaborative group work based on proposals developed during the seminar with seed funding support from the World Heart Federation from meritorious applications.
