The American Society of Nuclear Cardiology Technologist Leadership Development Program (TLDP) provides emerging technologist leaders with the experience and skill sets needed to become partners and pioneers in ASNC and nuclear cardiology. Program goals include the development of critical thinking and leadership skills, immersion in society governance and committees, relationship building with ASNC members, and opportunities to make meaningful contributions to ASNC programs and projects.
The TLDP accomplishes this by delivering leadership training and networking opportunities designed to increase knowledge, instill a sense of belonging within the ASNC community, and support participants in growing their careers.
Submit application material or questions to info@asnc.org.
How it Works
This three-year program is founded on three pillars:
- Mentorship
- Society Governance and Special Projects
- Leadership Skills Development
Participants are paired with a technologist mentor to collaboratively expand their personal and professional development and guide them as potential partners and leaders in nuclear cardiology practices.
Within the Society Governance and Special Projects sphere, participants have opportunities to serve on ASNC Committees and Task Forces, as well as receive project invitations to acquire fundamental governance skills. Each project functions as a mini-mentorship, where engagement with project leaders and other participants helps them acquire and refine knowledge and experience.
Leadership skills development is facilitated through a variety of experiences, including quarterly webinars, regular 1:1 conversations with the TLDP Program Director and staff, peer-to-peer networking opportunities, and periodic invitations to ASNC’s Executive Council and Board of Directors functions.
Application Requirements
Selection for participation in the program is extremely competitive. Only two slots are available in order to ensure that each participant has broad exposure to all aspects of ASNC.
- Candidate must be a member of ASNC, and
- Be at least two years out of technologist training
All applicants must submit the following materials to info@asnc.org to be considered for selection:
- Completed Application Form (includes instructions for the following items)
- Letter of Recommendation from your program director, preceptor, or another mentor
- Current Resume or Curriculum Vitae
- Statement of Interest (maximum of 500 words)
Selection criteria include time committed to advanced training in nuclear cardiology or cardiac imaging, job responsibilities in nuclear cardiology/imaging, involvement in ASNC and other imaging societies and strength of the recommendation letters. The Selection Committee evaluates program applicants in areas such as their stated goals, experiences in research, publications, educational contributions, participation in Society initiatives, and their likelihood of success in the program. ASNC’s Community is robust and assuring a good fit between TLDP participants and the organization benefits both.
