Surgeon Educators

Education Based on You

Surgeon educators certainly have different requirements than the surgeons themselves. That’s why the ACS has programs and events specifically relevant to you—to help you help surgeons excel. See all that we have in store for the surgery profession.

Academy of Master Surgeon Educators

Post-Residency Fellowships

Fellowships are available for those seeking additional training after residency in one of the surgical specialties and are designed for the postgraduate board eligible/certified surgeon. The experience can expose participants to techniques that may not have been covered at great length during residency and encourage the pursuit of research activities.
