Early Career Professionals & Trainees
Junior faculty and trainee members are the future of ISHLT and of the profession, and the Society is committed to facilitating their full engagement in all the ISHLT offers.
Early Career
"Early Career" is defined as anyone whose training was completed fewer than six years ago.
Members and nonmembers can self-identify as Early Career under the "Account" tab when updating their member profile.
Trainees
ISHLT has an official Trainee Membership category, open to all individuals in a formal training program (residents, fellows, medical students, nursing students, and graduate students).
Early Career & Trainee Committee
The purpose of the ECTC is to coordinate the Society's efforts to engage with, provide effective mentorship of, and identify leadership opportunities for those who are in the early stages of their careers in advanced heart and lung disease.
