ACS Communities is the members-only, online community of the American College of Surgeons.

This networking tool provides an environment in which ACS members can not only connect, engage, and share information and best practices in real time, but can also ask advice, share experiences, exchange resources (videos, photos, documents), and build professional relationships.

Unlike traditional professional networks such as LinkedIn, ACS Communities' private forums are protected by multiple security levels that give members of the College the place they need to discuss the things that matter most to them in a way that does not jeopardize the privacy of their patients.

To join communities, log in to ACS Communities, select "Communities" near the top of any page and then choose "Suggested Communities." From there, click the blue "Join" button next to the community or communities you'd like to join.

If you have any questions, please send them to acscommunities@facs.org.

ACS Communities are designed to help members connect, engage, share information, and get advice from their peers. Review the list of Communities one this page and choose the groups that will be most beneficial to your practice.

The Communities Editor-in-Chief is Sean J. Langenfeld, MD, FACS, FASCRS.
