Today’s global health care crisis has highlighted how fundamental a strong medical research workforce is to our healthcare system. As the cardiovascular profession presses forward, the American College of Cardiology’s (ACC) vision of a ‘world where innovation and knowledge optimize cardiovascular care and outcomes’, has never had a clearer purpose.

In support of our ongoing efforts to build a diverse and excellent clinical research workforce, ACC is seeking applicants for its extended Clinical Trials Research: Upping Your Game program. This exciting, year-long program offers a one-year curriculum, networking and mentoring opportunities for cardiovascular professionals seeking to up their game in the quest for new science.

The gravity of the COVID-19 situation and its many impacts on the entire health care community will undoubtedly challenge our workforce in unexpected ways for years to come. ACC stands by its members as they address the immediate challenges of today and seeks to build leaders for the changing tomorrow.

Details regarding qualifications, eligibility and the application process are available at www.acc.org/CTR2020.
