Read what the successful applicants said about the ICCPR CRFC Scholarship:
“…even more than obtaining recognition, which has undoubtedly involved a lot of work (in this case, working on the patient registry, obtaining authorization to share the data, uploading it to the international database, submitting to the interview with the minimum requirements requested and accrediting the training course), what fills us with the most pride of this certification is the fact of knowing ourselves, as the stand alone center we are, as a solid project whose professionalization has provided great clinical results.
The motivation that this recognition has generated for the entire Cardiofit team drives us to commitment and persist on the first great objective for which we started this cardiovascular rehabilitation center together, the reason for our profession: the well-being of our patients.”
Dr Jorge A. Lara Vargas, CEO Cardiofit, Cardiac Rehabilitation and Prevention
“Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity. I learnt a lot and got new perspective towards the application of cardiac rehabilitation. The application of diet and psychology in cardiac rehabilitation is under utilised in India and it’s importance understated, especially for a physiotherapist. This course gave me framework for understanding and application of these aspects to deliver improved outcomes for my patients.”
