About European Association For Cardio-Thoracic Surgery (EACTS)
The European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery was founded in 1986 as a world-wide organisation devoted to improving surgical outcomes for people encountering and living with cardio-thoracic (heart and lung) conditions, by providing first class education, cutting edge learning opportunities and world renowned journals. Membership has now spread all over the world with 4000 active members including surgeons, perfusionists and allied health professionals. Our Francis Fontan Fund fellowship scheme provides unique, career changing opportunities for young surgeons and health professionals, many from deprived or lower income regions, to advance their education, foster their professional development and learn from the highest standards of cardiothoracic care at some of the most prestigious institutions around the world. In the last five years, the scheme has benefitted more than 38 young professionals, including surgeons from South America, Ukraine and Asia, all learning from the very best in Europe and worldwide. Our fellowship programme relies on voluntary donations.
