Associate Membership
Associate Membership is for healthcare professionals working in the Southern region including, but not limited to, physician assistants, perfusionists, nurses, nurse practitioners, practice administrators, data managers and other health care professionals who support and work directly with cardiothoracic surgeons.
Annual membership dues are $50, to be billed after membership application is accepted. New Associate Members pay a one-time $25 initiation fee. Members receive reduced Annual Meeting registration fees of $350 (compared to $450 for non-members) and are required to attend one meeting within the first four years of their membership to confirm active status.
