Membership Application

Thank you for the interest in the General Thoracic Surgical Club.  We hope you will consider joining. 

Applicants must have spent two years in practice after completing their thoracic surgery residency training before applying for membership in the General Thoracic Surgical Club.  Membership requirements include a practice of at least 50 percent general thoracic surgery and thoracic board certification, either U.S. or a non-U.S. equivalent.  You must complete the application form (Application form) and have it signed by two active members of the Club.  A sponsoring letter from each of these members verifying your interest and case load in general thoracic surgery as well as supporting your membership is also necessary.  Finally, you must submit a list of surgical cases from the past twelve months, which must be validated by your chief of surgery. 

The Executive Committee meets regularly to vote on new memberships, including your application if it is complete.  I will be in contact with you shortly thereafter with regard to your membership status.  If you are elected to membership, the initiation fee is $300 (U.S.) and the yearly membership dues are $300 (U.S.), both of which are payable upon membership notification.

Once again, thank you for your interest in the General Thoracic Surgical Club.  If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
