Looking to the Future Scholarship Program
The application process for the 2021 STS Looking to the Future Scholarship Program is expected to open in September 2020.
STS remains vigilant in monitoring the coronavirus and its impact on our organizational activities, upcoming meetings, and—most important—our members and staff. Please continue to check the STS website for updates.
The STS Looking to the Future Scholarship Program seeks to encourage general surgery residents and medical students who are considering, but not yet committed to, a career in cardiothoracic surgery. Scholarships include registration fees for the STS Annual Meeting, a 3-night stay at an STS-designated hotel, participation in exclusive events, and reimbursement of up to $500 in related travel expenses.
Residents Symposium
The Residents Symposium at the STS Annual Meeting offers practical early career information and an opportunity to ask questions in small group discussions led by experienced surgeons. The 2020 Symposium included talks related to the modern cardiothoracic surgery practice landscape, key steps to finding a job, negotiating contracts in academic and private practice settings, early career development, achieving financial security, and navigating work/life balance. All views and opinions expressed therein are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the Society.
