Course title
Cardiovascular Research Seminar Series

Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

1. Have insight into the latest developments in cardiovascular research
2. Put into perspective their own research with that of others in the field
3. Acquire an increased understanding of the overall field of cardiovascular research
4. Succinctly explain and discuss their own research results with high-profile researchers in a similar field, thus giving the students confidence in their work and presentation skills, and ideas for future studies.

Content
The course will consist of 6 1-hour seminars from highly-esteemed international cardiovascular researchers. Three seminars will be held in the spring and three in the autumn. The speakers have been carefully selected to cover a broad range of cardiovascular research, from calcium handling in the heart, sports cardiology and atrial fibrillation to vascular remodeling in diabetes and atherosclerosis. As well as seminar attendance, the students will be required to attend a luncheon meeting with the respective speakers, and, over the course of the year, each student will be expected to meet 2 speakers individually for 60 minutes to discuss their project.
At the end of the seminar series, all students will be required to write 2.5 pages as a self-evaluation of the benefits and ideas stimulated from the individual discussions with the speakers and the seminars. Within this self-evaluation, the students should consider some of the following questions:
- Which speaker did you meet with? Why did you choose these speakers to meet with?
- How did you prepare for the meeting? Were there specific elements of your research or career that you wished to discuss?
- What advice did the speakers give you? How will you implement this advice into your research or career development?
- Did the speaker stimulate you to consider another aspect of your current research?
- Which seminars did you enjoy the most? Why?
- Was there a specific seminar that allowed you to consider the broader impact of your current research?
- Were they any presentation skills used by certain speakers that you would like to use in your future presentations?

Participants
This course is aimed at all PhD students with a desire to improve their understanding of cardiovascular research.
