A NEW way to connect with your fellow members!

We are pleased to announce the launch of a member look-up directory within the member portal!

Active members of the Ontario Thoracic Society and the Ontario Respiratory Care Society will now be able to easily connect through our online portal. Search and find fellow members!

To use this function, login to your profile via https://lunghealth.member365.com and you will find “ Directory” as a new option within the black options bar.

If you would like to modify your own information in the directory, please go to My Account -> My Profile -> Societies Directory OTS and ORCS Profile.

You can also revise which information others can see by changing your settings under My Account -> My Directory Listing.

We are super excited to bring this networking option to you!
