ESTS Women in General Thoracic Surgery Committee (WGTS) Academy 2025-2026

The ESTS Women in General Thoracic Surgery Committee (WGTS) is proud to offer the 2025-2026 ESTS WGTS Academy as a special opportunity to further develop and integrate the education of female thoracic surgeons.

The purpose of the Academy will be to support female early-career general thoracic surgeons to gain exposure to female thoracic surgeon mentors and have access to educational resources that have been tailored to the needs expressed in the ESTS/EACTS Gender Bias Survey in terms of leadership, mentorship, and research training.

The Academy will be focusing on early career thoracic surgeons wishing to acquire surgical skills by a mixed schedule of in-person networking, live webinars and observership on participation in a structured gender-balanced way.

Call to be Open Soon

The 25/26 Academy is generously supported by a grant from Medtronic.
