Here's why it’s important:
As a body representing all of surgery, the College:
- Provides a cohesive voice addressing societal issues related to surgery.
- Is working toward having an increasingly proactive and timely voice in setting a national tone and agenda with regard to health care.
- Is dedicated to promoting the highest standards of surgical care through education of and advocacy for its Fellows and their patients.
- Serves as a national forum through which surgeons can reinforce the values and ethics that traditionally have characterized the surgical profession.
There IS strength in numbers.
Our members represent every specialty, practice setting, and stage of practice. Their views and concerns are helping to shape the College’s agenda for the future.
If you aren’t a member of the American College of Surgeons, apply for Fellowship today. If you are already a member, maintain that status and consider getting involved in the work of the College.
Only by banding together and using our collective strength can we bring about positive change for our patients and ourselves— and for surgeons of the future.
