Leadership Development Program

The ASNC Leadership Development Program (LDP) is a three-year mentorship program that was developed to groom future leaders of the society and the field of Nuclear Cardiology. Each year, ASNC members volunteer their time and expertise to make the field stronger through grassroots advocacy, development of clinical guidelines, and highly successful educational programs. The future of Nuclear Cardiology depends on volunteerism and strong leadership from ASNC. The Leadership Development Program is the training ground for the next generation of ASNC leaders. It is a glowing testament to the program that many current and past elected leaders of ASNC are products of the LDP.

Selection to the LDP is by a competitive application. U.S. and international candidates may apply.

Requirements: 1) candidate must be a member of ASNC, 2) demonstrate involvement in ASNC activities, and 3) be within 5 years of completion of their last training program (Cardiology fellowship/ Radiology or Nuclear Medicine residency/ advanced cardiac imaging training/ technologist training)

During the selection process, particular weightage will be given to 1) demonstration of dedication to nuclear cardiology or cardiac imaging (specialized training and /or early career focus), 2) level of participation in ASNC or other imaging society activities, 3) research or advocacy/leadership efforts, and 4) supporting letters. For all of the above, ASNC and nuclear cardiology-specific activities will be given more weightage. Candidates should pay close attention to these requirements, and related experience should be emphasized in the personal statement and recommendation letters.
