Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the leading cause of death globally. Most cardiovascular diseases can be prevented by addressing behavioural risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet and obesity, physical inactivity and harmful use of alcohol.
Pharmacological research has contributed much to attacking diseases through the development of drugs. However, further efforts towards developing better drugs and targeting unmet medical needs are still needed.
Pathophysiology, pharmacology and therapeutics need to team up for effective global CVD risk reduction. Next-generation physicians and researchers should become aware of the rising CVD burden already during their education.
The learning objective is two-fold: 1) To provide an integrated view of research and clinical approaches to prevention and treatment strategies for CVD 2) To foster exchange and networking between medical student from several European countries. This will hopefully be the third in a series of educational events to build relations among international medical students for years to come
The course is open to 24 undergraduate medical students close to achieving their MD. Applications from early graduate MDs may be considered.
