3CPR Early Career Development Opportunities

The Council on Cardiopulmonary, Critical Care, Perioperative and Resuscitation (3CPR) fosters the development of early career professionals, including research scientists and clinicians. The council has programs, awards and travel grants to ensure ongoing training and to recognize and reward talented early career individuals.
