Starting this week we will be introducing all board members of ASAP and we’ll kick off with our new chair: Caitlin Vink!

Hi everyone,

It is my honor to take the lead and introduce myself.

My name is Caitlin Vink and I am the chair of ASAP since this summer. I am in the second year of my PhD in cardiology and physiology on the cardiac microcirculation at the VUmc location. In my spare time I like to work out in different sport such as tennis, swimming and boxing. I’m always up for a drink and I like (making) good food.

The goal of ASAP is to have a PhD association that organizes events for all 3000 PhD-students of the Amsterdam UMC, and also represent these PhD-students both within the Amsterdam UMC in discussions with the Board of Directors and the Doctoral School, and outside the Amsterdam UMC on national level. As the chair of ASAP I am responsible for making sure that everything runs smoothly.

At the moment we are still busy organizing ASAP as one association, since it used to be two separate associations. If you have any tips or tricks, or if you run into any problems, don’t hesitate to contact me!

Hope to see you soon!
