Residents Encouraged to Take Part in Free Clinical Congress Program Tailored to Their Unique Needs

Surgery residents have unique educational needs as they work through their training and approach independent practice, and the Surgery Resident Program at the annual ACS Clinical Congress is specifically tailored to provide guidance and answer important questions.

Residents of all levels are invited to attend the special 2-day program, Sunday, October 16, and Monday, October 17, at Clinical Congress 2022 in San Diego, CA, which will focus on preparing for a career in surgery. Under the leadership of Program Chair Leigh A. Neumayer, MD, MS, FACS, this year’s program will include lectures, interactive events, and panel discussions addressing:

• Contract negotiation
• Effective allyship in the workplace
• Building financial security
• Starting a family as a surgeon

ACS President Julie A. Freischlag, MD, FACS, DFSVS, also will offer a Fireside Chat. In addition, the program will feature networking opportunities, a skills competition, and more.

Note: Interested participants must be current surgery residents and register for both Clinical Congress and the Surgery Resident Program. There is no cost to Resident Members who register in advance. Space is limited and advance registration is encouraged.
