Leadership
Trains future leaders in arrhythmia management and research
About DASCAM
“One of the key needs identified by the European Society of Cardiology is the training of future leaders in arrhythmia management and research with a wide view of the societal and economical perspectives.”
“Graduates of DAS-CAM will understand how value based healthcare includes scientific evidence, health economics, organisational excellence, and value to patients.”
“DAS-CAM goes far beyond a traditional arrhythmia course and we would like to attract the best candidates in Europe whose goal is to become a leader in arrhythmia research and clinics”
“DAS-CAM is an eye-opening programme because it gives you a much wider view on electrophysiology and arrhythmia. A lot of aspects that you don’t get in your formal journey as an electrophysiologist — such as health economics and leadership — are covered in this unique programme.”
“Coming here, you realise you’re good. However, there’s still a lot of things you can learn. You are up to the best-of-the-best, including your teachers who are leaders in the field… and they are making you a lot better.”
“The DAS CAM programme exceeded by far my expectations. You meet with colleagues from all over Europe and learn from world-known experts. You can discuss very interesting cases and it truly enhances your clinical practice.”
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, a new educational programme entitled “Diploma of Advanced Studies in Cardiac Arrhythmia Management” (DAS-CAM) has been established. This initiative is a joint collaboration between Maastricht University Medical Center (MUMC+), European Heart Academy (EHA) and the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA), a long-standing provider of postgraduate education in arrhythmias.
Programme structure
The course consists of eight modules over 2 years, including a preparatory phase, an intensive in-person training, and an evaluation phase. The format of the course comprises small-group teaching, lectures, hands-on training, team projects and interaction with European leaders in their field.
