The CardioNerds Academy is a year-long digital media and medical education fellowship focused on training medical educators for the modern age. We strive to equip our fellows with skills in online content creation grounded in adult learning theory and digital media best practices. Moreover, we aim to create a community of educators united in the mission of elevating traditionally under-represented voices within cardiology and cultivating a culture of equity, compassion, and humanism within our field.
Through the Academy curriculum, Cardionerds Academy Fellows create “digital educational products” (or “DEPs”) such as infographics or Twitter "tweetorials". These DEPs leverage the unique advantages of digital media to effectively teach cardiovascular medicine topics to the vast and heterogenous online medical education audience. As part of our annual Academy graduation ceremony we are privileged to honor fellows who have distinguished themselves as educators in this space with a DEP Award.
