Find Volunteer Opportunities
Volunteer Portal
ISHLT offers several opportunities throughout the year for members to contribute their knowledge and expertise while engaging with colleagues around the globe.
As a volunteer, you will work alongside other members and leaders across the field of advanced heart and lung disease to advance ISHLT’s mission and vision and enhance your leadership skills.
Connect with your Colleagues and Advance Science
Professional Communities
ISHLT's 10 Professional Communities are the place to connect with others in your professional specialty. Network, provide mentorship, share expertise, and advance knowledge with peers who do the same kind of work as you.
If you're new to ISHLT, or looking to get more involved, start here by finding the community or communities most relevant to you.
Interdisciplinary Networks
The four ISHLT Interdisciplinary Networks (IDNs) represent the core therapies and diseases our members are dedicated to treating. The IDNs are made up of members from the Professional Communities and represent all of the different specialties dedicated to treating a specific kind of patient.
Connect with your IDN to access the global, multidisciplinary power of the ISHLT.
