EACTS Course Endorsement
EACTS is at the forefront of cardiothoracic surgical education, providing first-class education programmes and cutting-edge learning opportunities that are recognised by the global cardiothoracic community. We are pleased to work with universities, associations, societies, hospitals and individuals to endorse high-quality courses that advance surgical education and align with our educational values. An EACTS endorsement is an official recognition that the course complies with EACTS standards. Courses endorsed by EACTS must meet our endorsement criteria.
Endorsement benefits
The benefits of an EACTS endorsement include feedback on the course programme by experts on our Education Committee and the relevant EACTS task force as well as course promotion through EACTS channels.
