Find below some of the most frequent questions about the membership of the ESC.
The ESC is a member driven organisation, welcoming more than 95 000 healthcare professionals within its global community. Cardiologists and other healthcare professionals become members of the ESC to be part of a society that gives them opportunities to network; access the latest science; use a broad array of services that support their ongoing professional development and represents their interests within the health sector. Many of the ESC’s subspecialty communities also provide membership opportunities to support cardiologists within specific fields of cardiology.
The ESC covers the full spectrum of cardiology, offering a tailored membership for each individual. Healthcare professionals can enhance their knowledge in more than one field of expertise by signing up for ESC Professional Membership and Silver Subspecialty Association Membership (or more Silver Subspecialty Association Memberships) at a special price.
ESC Professional Membership and subspecialty association memberships, starting prior to 12 June 2018, follow a calendar basis running to 31 December.

Yes, Individual membership is open to all healthcare professionals eager to more fully participate in the ESC community and all it offers.
Yes, if you are still in training to become a board certified cardiologist, you can join and benefit from a preferential rate.
Due to the special relationship the ESC has with its founding member societies, if you are a cardiologist working in an ESC Member Country, you must first be a member of ESC National Cardiac Society before becoming an ESC Professional Member. This requirement does not apply to non-cardiologists, or cardiologists working in a non-ESC Member Country. Neither does it apply to join a sub-specialty association.

Yes, you can sign-up to any membership offer. Some of the ESC Associations also offer a Fellowship which may also be of interest to be recognised as well in your specialty.
ESC is a not-for-profit organisation. Many of the resources are produced with the help of ESC volunteers, who give their time free of charge, but there is a cost to producing and maintaining resources. Whilst it would be great if all resources could be provided for free, these costs must be covered. ESC designs membership packages to be good value for money and often individual benefits included in the package are more expensive when purchased outside of membership. Preferential rates on membership are available for cardiologists in training in order to ensure that the price to access resources is not prohibitive.
