If you're already an Active member of the Association, we invite you to document your competency and proficiency in Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery by applying for Fellow Membership.
Membership dues for 2009 are now due. Please utilize the ONLINE PAYMENTS function of the site to easily pay with your credit card.
New members can join today online by clicking Join APACVS and completing the online registration process. PA residents should download the application and fax it to the office in order to receive the reduced rate for residents.
Visit the members only section to gain access to the TSDA Education Universe! This is the same online curriculum utilized by CT Surgeons in training, and is now available to our members for their exclusive use.
It was great to see so many of our members and colleagues at our recent meeting in San Francisco. The CME offerings were excellent and the workshops were outstanding!
Looking forward to seeing everyone again in Atlanta this June for our Summer Meeting on Critical Care and our Invasive Skills Workshop. If you are a new CVPA or PA resident this is the meeting you won't want to miss. There will be tons of critical care CME and our hands on animal lab, where you can learn chest tubes, central lines, swan ganz, sternotomy, EVH, and more!
CVPA's are encouraged to utilize our Career Center! This on-line job board will allow CVPA's to post their resume and to search current CV Surgery employment opportunities. Post your profiles/resume today and help support the career center.
The APACVS Database is available for members to log their patient encounters and procedures. A few minutes spent each day logging your encounters in the database will provide you with a portable online record of your clinical experience. This record will likely prove invaluable should you change jobs or move to another state.
