The Have a Heart Bursary Program is designed to introduce promising young Canadian medical students, post-graduate trainees and basic scientists-in-training to the cardiovascular sciences (clinical and basic sciences) to encourage a strong Canadian cardiovascular community. Applicants should be committed to a future career in Canada.

This bursary program is sponsored by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society Academy, a charitable organization created in 2000 by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS). The CCSA's mandate is to support education, research, scholarships, and bursaries for medical students and prospective cardiovascular specialists.

Bursary awardees are invited to learn more about their future through participation in Vascular 2023 Congress. The Congress is the largest gathering of cardiovascular health professionals in Canada. The Congress draws physicians, researchers, trainees, medical students and other cardiovascular professionals from across Canada and around the globe. The Congress is hosted by the Canadian Cardiovascular Society, Canadian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Canadian Venous Thromboembolism Research Network, Diabète Québec, Diabetes Canada, Hypertension Canada and Thrombosis Canada.

Note: Those already established in a cardiovascular residency program or post PhD are not eligible to apply.
