πŸŽ“ SCMR Leadership Academy β€” Inaugural Cohort Reaches a Key Milestone

We are pleased to share an important milestone for the SCMR Leadership Academy as the inaugural cohort approaches the completion of its two-year journey. ✨

🌍 Launched in 2024 to foster future leaders in cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), the program brings together an internationally diverse and multidisciplinary group of professionals:

β€’ Dr. Mahi Ashwath, Cardiology, University of Texas San Antonio, USA
β€’ Dr. Marian Pop, Radiology, MureΘ™, Romania
β€’ Dr. Michael DiLorenzo, Pediatric Cardiology, Columbia University, USA
β€’ Dr. Julio Garcia, Scientist, University of Calgary, Canada
β€’ Dr. Malenka Bissel, Pediatric Cardiology, University of Leeds, UK

🧩 A key component of the program is the capstone project, addressing a critical global need: the lack of standardized structured reporting in rural and resource-limited settings. To meet this challenge, the cohort developed nine standardized reporting templates for fetal, adult, and pediatric CMR, guided by SCMR reporting guidelines β€” now available on the SCMR website.

Explore and access the reporting templates hereπŸ‘‰ https://scmr.org/scmr-reporting-templates/

🀝 This work reflects close collaboration across multiple SCMR committees and the dedicated support of the Leadership Academy’s organizing committee β€” Dr. Vineeta Ojha, Dr. Purvi Parwani, Dr. Karen Ordovas, and Dr. Subha Raman β€” as well as the mentors who worked closely with this cohort: Dr. Victor Ferrari, Dr. Sven Plein, Dr. Lars Grosse-Wortmann, and Dr. Chiara Bucciarelli-Ducci.

By creating and sharing these resources, the Leadership Academy aims to reduce variability, improve diagnostic accuracy, and promote equitable access to high-quality CMR reporting worldwide.

🌐 The global CMR community is encouraged to explore and use these new resources to help raise global standards in CMR reporting!
