We are excited to launch the nomination process for this year’s Nina Starr Braunwald Extraordinary Women in Cardiothoracic Surgery Award. The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) and Women in Thoracic Surgery (WTS) co-sponsor the Extraordinary Women in Cardiothoracic Surgery Award to recognize women surgeons who have demonstrated excellence in clinical practice and made significant contributions to the specialty, as well as individuals who have championed women in cardiothoracic surgery. The award honors achievements in clinical practice, leadership, mentorship, and advocacy.
The nomination deadline is October 30, 2025.
This award allows women medical students, general surgery residents and cardiothoracic surgery residents enrolled at an accredited institution, with an interest in cardiothoracic surgery, the opportunity to attend the STS Annual Meeting, and to be mentored throughout the meeting by a WTS/STS member. In addition, women postdoctoral candidates in a research or other gap year who have graduated medical school and are interested in cardiothoracic surgery are eligible to apply.
Submission Deadline: All applications must be submitted by November 16, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. PDT.
