Pediatrics




All ISHLT members who list their professional specialty as Pediatric Cardiology, Pediatric Pulmonology or Pediatric Transplant Surgery will automatically be members of the Pediatrics Professional Community. Pediatrics Professional Community members will engage and share knowledge and information with each other via the online Pediatrics Community in ISHLTConnect and will help ISHLT maintain its vibrant and unique multidisciplinary character by:
 
  • Electing pediatrics representatives to the relevant Interdisciplinary Networks (AHFTX, PVD, MCS, ALFTX)
  • Electing a pediatrics representative to the Early Career and Trainee Committee
  • Providing a pediatric specialist's voice in the Leadership Advisory Forum
  • Providing pediatrics content experts to participate in developing and delivering ISHLT’s programs and services and serving in other volunteer capacities
  • Networking with pediatrics colleagues and engage with each other regarding pediatrics issues of interest
  • Mentoring pediatrics specialists in the early stages of their career
