Partner With ISMICS to Advance Minimally Invasive Surgery Worldwide

Minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery is evolving rapidly — and no single institution or region drives that progress alone. At ISMICS, global collaboration is central to our mission. We believe the most meaningful advances in cardiac and thoracic surgery happen when the world's leading minds share knowledge, challenge convention, and learn from one another.

That's why ISMICS actively seeks partnerships with organizations that share our commitment to innovation and education. We are pleased to offer co-sponsorship for qualified educational programs in the cardiothoracic and cardiovascular specialties — bringing the credibility, reach, and expertise of ISMICS to programs that are shaping the future of less invasive surgery around the world.

Whether you are organizing a regional symposium, an international conference, or a hands-on training workshop, partnering with ISMICS gives your program access to:

World-renowned ISMICS faculty — leaders and innovators at the forefront of minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery
Promotion through ISMICS channels — reaching a global audience of surgeons, researchers, and allied health professionals
The ISMICS network — connecting your program to more than 800 members across six continents

Together, we can ensure that the latest innovations in minimally invasive surgery reach surgeons and patients everywhere. For more information reach out to info@ismics.org. Past workshops include:
