Surgeon's Dashboard Features

The Surgeon’s Dashboard is a personalized, members-only experience.

In the dashboard, you can easily update your profile, view and bookmark articles from flagship ACS publications, find educational courses, pay dues, connect with your ACS representatives, access your local chapter, and more.

Dashboard Homepage

On the homepage of your dashboard, you have quick access to our flagship publications: 

• Journal of the American College of Surgeons
• Bulletin of the American College of Surgeons
• ACS Brief

In addition, you can ensure your membership and dues are up to date, quickly access your donation history, and view your personalized newsfeed.

Personalized Newsfeed

Your newsfeed should reflect your interests. Content relevant to your specialty and interests is filtered into your feed. Updating your profile is a critical step in personalizing your new dashboard. In your profile, navigate to the Personal tab and scroll to the bottom to tell us your interests.

Education

In the Education section, see how many CME credits you've earned over the last year, access the ACS Event Calendar and learning management system, login quickly to JACS CME, and more.

My Network

In the Surgeon's Dashboard, find relevant information and grow your peer network. After logging in and clicking the “My Network” tab, you’ll be able to access:

• Your assigned primary ACS chapter
• Your ACS committee assignments
• Your Advisory Council
• Your Governors at-Large and Advisory Council Chairs, with access their profile and contact information

In addition, you can use your Surgeon’s Dashboard to:

• Find a Surgical Colleague—logged-in users can access email addresses to connect with colleagues
• Quickly access the ACS Communities, where you can discuss clinical and nonclinical topics with surgeons around the world
