What this episode covers
Aging populations, modified lifestyles, and changing environments in developing countries have contributed to making cardiovascular disease the leading cause of death worldwide. As 80% of cardiovascular disease occurs outside developed nations, more research in global cardiovascular disease is essential to understand and address the burden of this disease. In this episode, Fogarty International Clinical Research Fellow Dr Jerry Bloomfield asks respected mentor Dr Tom Gaziano about career opportunities in global research, the importance of mentorship, current areas of opportunity, and the importance of serendipity in career development.
