MEMBERSHIP
There are 4 categories of membership: active, honorary, retired and corresponding.
Active members are thoracic surgeons, who are citizens in, or originated from Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark or Iceland or who have been employed as a surgeon for a period of at least 6 months in a Scandinavian Center. Every active member at the age of 65 years or at the age of retirement wil automatically become a senior member. Senior members do not pay the membership fee. Honorary members are distinguished persons as may be deemed worthy of this honor by the board of the Association. Corresponding members are thoracic surgeons from other European countries or from countries abroad, who have been active in the Association and elected to be corresponding members by the board. Candidates for active membership of the association apply simply by writing to the General Secretary, who decides if the application is acceptable.
