Preventive Cardiology

Young Ambassadors represent the EAPC Young Community in their respective countries and are the main point of contact for young healthcare professionals in preventive cardiology there.

In addition to expanding the community of young researchers in the field of preventive cardiology, Young Ambassadors communicate the needs and interests of their national peers to the EAPC. They also help spread the word about EAPC initiatives and scientific activities at the national level.
