Active Membership

Thank you for your 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.  The following application form must be completed and 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 four times a year (May, October, January and March) to review complete applications and vote on new memberships.  If 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.
