Curriculum Vitae
Jonathan Lipton was born in May of 1978 in Evansville, Indiana, USA. He graduated secondary school in 1996 at the Stedelijk Gymnasium Haarlem. From 1996 - 2003 he studied Medicine at the Leiden University. During this period he did an elective research project at Duke University, North Carolina and an elective clinical rotation at Queens Elizabeth Hospital in Malawi. After graduation, he worked for one year as a clinical research fellow in West Virginia in a collaborative project with Duke University. In 2005 he started a combined PhD and residency program in Cardiology at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam (Research supervisor: Prof.dr. M.L. Simoons; clinical supervisor: dr. F.J. ten Cate). He successfully defended his PhD thesis "Improving Quality of Care in Acute Cardiology" in 2010. The cardiology training includes a two year internal medicine residency (From 2006 - 2008 at the St. Franciscus Gasthuis in Rotterdam, supervisor dr. A. Rietveld) and a six month residency at a peripheral medical center (2010 at the Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Dordrecht, supervisor dr. M.J.M. Kofflard). His other interests include travelling, mountain climbing, cycling and running.
