Discover Many Benefits of Joining Your Local ACS Chapter

The ACS is an organization dedicated to educating surgeons and improving patients care across the US—and the world—and some of its most impactful work takes place through ACS Chapters. More than 100 regional, state, and international chapters strive to offer benefits to ACS members at the local level, including:

• Networking opportunities that enable members to build strong professional relationships with surgical peers
• Opportunities to participate in advocacy activities at the state and federal levels that impact surgeons and patients
• Convenient educational meetings and local continuing medical education
• Leadership opportunities within the chapter council that can translate to future leadership roles within the College
• A forum to engage and mentor young surgeons, trainees, and medical students
• Occasions to give back to the profession through volunteerism, both domestically and internationally

All ACS members are encouraged to find and join their local chapter. Want to learn more? Check out ACS Leader Travel Reports, which periodically highlight the activities of chapters around the world, and then find when and where your local chapter is holding its next meeting.
