Apply Today for STS Membership

As a member of the cardiothoracic surgery community, you know the importance of networking with your peers, sharing ideas, and helping to improve health care quality around the globe. If you’re not already a member of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, you can apply today and join one of the largest cardiothoracic surgical societies worldwide.

STS membership comes with a wide range of benefits, including subscriptions to The Annals of Thoracic Surgery, STS News, and personalized e-mail communications. Additionally, you’ll receive reduced registration rates at the STS Annual Meeting and many other educational events throughout the year (such as the upcoming Symposium on Robotic Mitral Valve Repair, March 31–April 1, in Chicago), as well as the potential for discounted participation fees in the STS National Database.

The STS Board of Directors votes on pending Active and International Membership three times per year (January, Spring, and Fall). The application deadlines that correspond to the next two Board of Directors meetings are outlined in the chart below. The first deadline is less than two weeks away!

Associate, Candidate, and Pre-Candidate Members are admitted on a rolling basis throughout the year.

Visit www.sts.org/membership for more information on the application process and the benefits of membership, and contact membership@sts.org with questions.
