His participation gradually evolved, eventually leading to his current role. \u201cI was always a contributor and faculty member,\u201d Dr. Gardner reminisces, \u201cbut it wasn&#8217;t until 2017 that I officially joined the CCSA Board, eventually assuming the position of Chair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CCSA\u2019s commitment to fostering the growth and development of young cardiovascular specialists and researchers resonated with Dr. Gardner. \u201cI believed in the mission,\u201d he explains, \u201cand enjoyed participating in the trainee initiatives during the CCS annual meeting each year.\u201d He counts the trainee program at the Canadian Cardiovascular Congress (CCC) among his favorite CCSA programs. \u201cBeing able to shape the future of our field is truly rewarding,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thousands of trainees and early career members have taken part in CCSA programming over the past 25 years \u2013 from Trainee Review Programs to the annual Have a Heart Bursary and Dr. Charles Kerr Award, the Trainee Program and Trainee Networking Luncheon at CCC, and the Future Leaders Program. These initiatives play a pivotal role in shaping the future of cardiovascular care in Canada. \u201cCCSA activities and programming are critical,\u201d asserts Dr. Gardner. \u201cTheir success is seen in the graduates who provide optimal cardiac care, serve as teachers for future trainees, and contribute actively to research in our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As CCS trainees become early career members and early career members become regular members, it\u2019s important for those who have benefited from CCSA programming to pay it forward. \u201cPromoting the benefits of the CCSA and encouraging donations are essential steps in nurturing the next generation of trainees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking ahead to the next 25 years, Dr. Gardner envisions an expanded early career program and a concerted effort to increase donations to the CCSA, including estate contributions. \u201cMy hope is to see a flourishing community of future cardiovascular healthcare leaders,\u201d he says, \u201csupported by robust programs and sustained by the generosity of our members.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Congratulations to the Canadian Cardiovascular Society Academy on 25 years of programming for medical students, prospective cardiovascular specialists, scientists in training and current cardiovascular trainees.
