Senior Fellows Society

Senior Fellows Society

The ACS Senior Fellows Society is a novel program for senior and retired surgeons, allowing continuous career-spanning engagement with ACS activities that help foster bidirectional interactions across generations of surgeons. The inaugural Senior Fellows Society meeting was held at Clinical Congress 2025 in Chicago, with a committee structure to be formalized in the first quarter of 2026.

About the Senior Fellows Society

The mission and purpose of the Senior Fellows Society is to:

  • Provide the opportunity for engagement of senior surgeons in the sharing of knowledge and facilitate experience 
  • Create a forum for mentorship and development of younger surgeons and their journey through their surgical careers. 
  • Serve as a focal point for cross-collaboration across the ACS life cycle programs and social engagement.

Learn more about the history of the Senior Fellows Society in the September 2025 issue of the ACS Bulletin.

Upcoming Events

The ACS Senior Fellows Society invites surgeons to participate in webinars on relevant topics.

Start Preparing for a Successful Retirement

Wednesday, February 11 | 1:00–2:00 pm CT

It is important to set goals that protect your financial future and reward your hard work, and mid-career is the ideal time to start preparing for financial security and personal fulfillment. Retirement can last a third of your life, yet many approach it with uncertainty and questions: “How will I stay engaged? Will my health hold up? What’s next?”

Speakers will include surgeons and financial experts. Learn more about the webinar in a recent ACS Brief issue. Register today to attend and learn how to set yourself up for success to protect your financial future.
