WSO Future Stroke Leaders Programme Cohort 2

24 Jan 2023

In March 2022, the WSO invited applications to the Future Stroke Leaders Programme from individuals with the potential to lead the transformation of stroke prevention, treatment and support at national, regional and global levels. Within 3 weeks, the application page was closed due to a high number of applications – 100+ application were received. A total of 34 early career clinicians and researchers from 23 countries, evenly divided by gender and geography with a diversity of backgrounds, were admitted to the WSO Future Stroke Leaders Programme, cohort 2 (2022-2024 intake). The two - year programme will equip them with an in-depth understanding of key challenges in stroke and how these can be addressed within diverse stroke care systems.

We are pleased to share the names of the participants of Cohort 2 of the WSO Future Stroke Leaders Programme. The selection was a highly competitive process with online questionnaire and several interview rounds, we would like to give a very warm welcome to the selected participants!
