Women in Thoracic Surgery

Women in Thoracic Surgery (WTS) was founded in 1986 with a mission to enhance the quality of medical care given to patients of its members, to mentor young women thoracic surgeons, to enhance the education of patients about heart and lung diseases and to enhance educational opportunities for women thoracic surgeons. The first women in cardiothoracic surgery newsletter was published in 1988, and was titled Oracle in 1994. In 1996 the association officially changed its name to Women in Thoracic Surgery. In 2000, WTS and STS jointly produced The Women in Thoracic Surgery Symposium, which celebrated the achievements of the first 100 women certified by the American Board of Thoracic Surgery. At that time, WTS became an incorporated nonprofit organization and a member organization of CTSNet. The WTS organization could not have been established without industry support, including that of Baxter-Edwards, Medtronic, Inc. and Scanlan International Inc. In June 2007, WTS began to operate under management services provided by STS and established its headquarters in Chicago.
