CTSNet is excited to announce the launch of the Surgical Volunteerism Portal [2]. The portal will serve as a resource for cardiothoracic surgeons and allied health professionals interested in humanitarian work. In addition to containing educational videos [3], articles [4], and personal essays [5] on surgical volunteerism, the portal will also connect CTSNet users with charitable organizations through a calendar of upcoming surgical missions [6].

CTSNet users are encouraged to submit content to the new Surgical Volunteerism Portal [7]. Similarly, charitable organizations are invited to submit  upcoming surgical missions via a webform [8].
