Career opportunities in cardiology
This joint event series of the DZHK and the German Cardiac Society (DGK) offers insights into career perspectives in cardiovascular medicine and medical research. Role models present their own career paths and discuss opportunities for physician scientists and researchers. Two modules are held each year, one at the DGK Annual Meeting in April and one as an online event in autumn. All events are conducted in English.
A panel discussion is part of every event.
