New Fellowship Program for Research Stays in the U.S.

With the International Visiting Fellowship for Clinician Scientists in Cardiovascular Medicine, the DHZB Foundation has launched a new program that enables clinicians at the Deutsches Herzzentrum der Charité (DHZC) to undertake international research and observational fellowships at renowned cardiovascular centers in the United States.

The fellowship aims to support both the individual career development of participants and the strategic advancement of DHZC through international knowledge exchange. Funded stays range from one to six months and take place at two leading institutions: Mass General Brigham in Boston and Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City.

The research and clinical observation in key areas such as digital cardiology and artificial intelligence, cardiovascular prevention and atherosclerosis, cardio-genetics, electrophysiology as well as novel interventional and surgical approaches are of specific strategic interests. Submissions addressing other relevant topics are also welcome.

Driving Progress in Research, Clinical Care, and Strategy

Participants are encouraged not only to advance their own clinical and scientific initiatives but also to contribute to the strategic development of DHZC; by transferring international best practices in research, education, and organizational structures. The goal is to foster long-term collaborations, acquire advanced techniques, and deepen intercultural competencies.

Through this program, the DHZB Foundation strengthens DHZC’s international visibility and invests in the next generation of committed, highly qualified, and forward-thinking clinician scientists. This fellowship marks another important step toward a globally connected, research-driven, and innovation-focused cardiovascular medicine.
