Applications are now open for Fellows and Associate Fellows who are interested in participating in the annual Triad Mentorship Program, sponsored by the Young Fellows Association (YFA).

Mentoring triads are made up of three members.

  • Early career surgeon: An Associate Fellow (an ACS member out of training) who will serve as a mentee in this triad relationship
  • Mid-career Surgeon: A Fellow with less than 10 years of practice, who serves as a mentor to the early career surgeon and a mentee of the advanced-career surgeon
  • Advanced-career Surgeon: A Fellow who has been practicing for more than 10 years and serves as a mentor to the other members of the triad

The mentorship relationship lasts October 2025 to October 2026.

The YFA will be sponsoring a kickoff event at the 2025 ACS Clinical Congress in Chicago, Illinois. The event will take place 11:00 am–12:00 pm on Sunday, October 5. All participants will be invited to attend and meet with their mentorship groups.
