STS Resident/Fellow Membership Benefits Your Career and the Specialty
CT surgery residents, you are encouraged to consider joining The Society of Thoracic Surgeons as a Resident/Fellow Member.
STS leadership recognizes that this is a critical time in the history of cardiothoracic surgery. Advances in technology are threatening to redefine the roles of all cardiothoracic caregivers. Those in training are both the most vulnerable and the best positioned to capitalize on this transition. For this reason, now more than ever, it is imperative that trainees become more involved in their national professional organization. STS is an excellent interface with the leaders and policy makers in our field.
The Society is also an invaluable resource for clinical education, organizing conferences and courses to share new technology with surgeons so they may participate in the evolution of our specialty. In addition to education, STS focuses a great deal of energy on both quality and quality improvement, as evidenced by growing participation in the STS National Databases. Finally, STS maintains a Washington office that has made a significant impact on the way surgeons are viewed and compensated. Recently, workforce-related issues were brought to the forefront of the congressional agenda by STS representatives.
Join your colleagues and apply now for STS Resident/Fellow Membership.
