Curriculum Vitae
Ivo Adriaan Cornelis van der Bilt was born on august 1st. 1975 in Bergen op Zoom. He grew up in Kaatsheuvel and Berkel-Enschot and finished secondary school at the Theresialyceum in Tilburg. In 1994 he started to study Chemical Technology at the Technical University in Eindhoven but quickly decided another career would be more suitable. He was accepted for medical school at the Free University in Amsterdam in 1996 and finished his Medical Degree in 2002. From 2001-2002 he was chair of the council of interns (Co-raad). During his medical study his interest in Cardiology started. He chose a cardiovascular profile consisting of a cardiological elective (keuzevak), student internship (wetenschappelijke stage) and elective rotation (keuze co-schap). He did an extended student internship (6 months) on the Intensive Care Unit in the Dijkzigt Hospital (now Erasmus Medical Center Rotterdam) and wrote his final report on Cerebro-cardio-pulmonary interaction after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. This paper was the basis for the SEASAH study protocol. After the student internship and before starting rotations, he was a student assistant for 6 months at the department of Anesthesiology of the Dijkzigt hospital in Rotterdam during which he wrote the SEASAH protocol, started with the study logistics and worked on several other protocols such as Xenon anesthesia and high frequency ventilation.
After his Medical Degree, he started working as a resident cardiology (AGNIO) in the Kennemer Gasthuis in Haarlem to gain clinical experience while trying to raise funds for the SEASAH study. In January 2004 he started as a resident cardiology (AGNIO) in the VU University Medical Center (VUMC) and later that year he started as a full time PhD student. Inclusion of patients in the SEASAH started in 2005. Due to funding problems in the VUMC he switched to the Academic Medical Center in 2006 where he started his training in cardiology (AIOS) in 2008.
In 2007 he co-founded the Cardionetworks Foundation. This is a non-profit NGO which launched and maintains several websites (ECGpedia.org, Echopedia.org). From 2008 to 2010 he did his Internal Medicine residency (trainer prof. dr. P. Speelman and prof. dr. M.M. Levi). From January 2010 until May 2010 he interrupted cardiology training to finish the data inclusion of the SEASAH. From June 2010 until November 2013 he worked as a resident cardiology in the AMC with a short period of 3 months in the Tergooi Hospital in Blaricum. In November 2013 he started his differentiation year in cardiac imaging in the Heart center of the Haga Teaching
