The CardioNerds Healy Honor Roll & Ambassadors Program

The CardioNerds Healy Honor Roll is the list of cardiovascular fellowship programs which support the CardioNerds mission to Democratize Cardiovascular Education. These programs foster the CardioNerds spirit by:

  • Nominating a CardioNerds Ambassador – see below
  • Contributing open-access content by way of CNCR cases: Learn more here. 

The CardioNerds Ambassadors are fellows nominated by CardioNerds fellowships to represent education at their program. They are an esteemed group of highly motivated individuals with a passion for education. The goal is to both:

  • Ensure representation on the platform from their programs
  • Foster their individual personal & professional development

The CardioNerds Healy Honor Roll is named after Dr. Bernadine Patricia Healy, a CardioNerd Hero who was the first female director of the National Institutes of Health and accomplished incredible achievements during her career.
