Associate Fellows: Apply Now for ACS Fellowship in 2023

ACS Associate Fellows interested in pursuing the next level of membership and who meet the criteria for Fellowship are encouraged to start the application process now. Applications for induction into Fellowship at the ACS Clinical Congress 2023 in Boston, MA, are due Thursday, December 1, 2022.

In evaluating the eligibility of Fellowship applicants, the College investigates each applicant’s entire surgical practice. Applicants for Fellowship are required to provide all necessary information for the evaluation of their surgical practice.

Associate Fellows are encouraged to apply for Fellowship within the first 6 years of their surgical practice. To encourage that transition, Associate Fellowship is limited to surgeons who have been Associates for 6 years or less.

View the complete list of requirements for US and Canada applicants, as well as those for surgeons applying for International Fellowship.

The Fellowship application requests basic information regarding licensure, certification, education, and hospital affiliations. Applicants also are asked to provide the names of three Fellows of the College, preferably from their current practice location, who can serve as references. All Fellowship applicants must participate in a personal interview by an ACS committee in their local area.

Additional information on the application process is available online. For more information, contact facsapplications@facs.org.
