CV‑Well has strengthened my practice through meaningful Mentor Circle connections and engaging webinars I can apply with clients. It feels like a professional home within the Academy, and I encourage RDs in cardiovascular and metabolic health to get involved.
I joined CV-Well because of the excellent learning opportunities covering cutting-edge topics critical to my profession. As a research scientist, this DPG has allowed me to interact with other practicing professionals in the field of cardiovascular health and wellness.
