International Society of Cardiovascular Disease
Epidemiology and Prevention
44th 10-day International Teaching Seminar on Cardiovascular Disease
Epidemiology and Prevention
15–27 January 2012
Cape Town, South Africa
The International Society of Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention announces the 44th 10-day international
teaching seminar on cardiovascular disease epidemiology and prevention to be held 15–27 January 2012 in Cape Town, South
Africa in conjunction with the South African Medical Research Council and the University of Cape Town.
Approximately 36 fellows can be accepted. The Society’s seminar committee will make the final selection. Nominees
should ideally be at the postgraduate level with residency training or its equivalent, and be interested in cardiovascular disease
epidemiology.
Normally, preference is given to younger candidates, with little or no formal training in epidemiology. Tuition, board and
accommodation are provided without cost to fellows. Fellows and their sponsors are responsible for their own travel costs to
the seminar. Should any accepted fellow be unable to attend, no substitute not reviewed by the seminar committee may be sent
as an alternate by the institution.
FLUENCY IN ENGLISH IS AN ABSOLUTE ESSENTIAL
Applications, including (1) a letter of nomination by the chief of department or institution, or other relevant sponsor, (2)
a personal letter of application from the nominee, and (3) the applicant’s curriculum vitae, should be received before 15
September 2011 by the seminar coordinator, address below. Applications can be sent by e-mail but a signed hard copy should
follow in the post.
