TraineeMembership

Transition from Trainee to Active Membership

  Information on Trainee Membership of EACTS

A surgeon early in his/her training and career can apply for Trainee Membership and be accepted into the Association after consideration at the subsequent Annual Meeting. Trainee membership can be held for a maximum of five years. After this period, the surgeon will have to decide whether to apply for active (full) membership. It is foreseen that the surgeon in training should be fully committed to cardio-thoracic surgery, shown by at least two year's experience in this field

Trainee Members enjoy the following privileges:

• Free registration at the Annual EACTS Meeting
• Subscription to the European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery
• Subscription to the Interactive Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery
• Sponsored subscription to Annals of Thoracic Surgery (courtesy of St Jude)
• Regular information about the inner life of the Association and its plans for the future via Newsletters three-four times a year.

The membership fee for Trainee members is only € 50. Trainee Members do not pay any initiation fee.

Prospective applicants will need to be supported by three Active, Honorary or Senior members of the EACTS.
